Against my better judgement, I made vegan spam musubi.
Looks good but honest question; what is vegan spam?
11Fair question. I bought
specifically because I've always wanted to try spam musubi, but I've never seen a vegan spam alternative. It's mostly soy, starch and wheat, but if you want a full breakdown, here's the manufacturer's site.Honest review, next time I'll just make my own seitan. It wasn't the worst, but the texture was weird and the cat food smell kinda put me off to begin with.
How does it compare to real Spam? Couldn't really say since it's been probably almost 20 years since I've had it. Probably about the same if memory serves.
13If you haven’t tried Omni brand, it is a very impressive SPAM substitute. Releases a lot of oil but that helps with the mimicry. Unmeat looks more like a standard luncheon meat, which itself is a poor substitute for SPAM brand luncheon meat.

In case you're not aware what Spam is, it's a brand of canned meat, very popular in certain countries. Sort of like sausage, but in a tin can instead of the sausage skin.

There's a frozen vegan spam at Sprouts that is amazing for this. Only drawback is the price.
5This is the type of vegan I am lol
3I feel like tempeh in the right marinade would work well.
3That's a good idea. I did something similar in a poke bowl and it was great.
