Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked rice

• 1 can Luncheon Meat (12 oz)

• ½ cup Pik-A-Pikel Pickled Garlic

• ½ cup white sugar

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• ¼ cup oyster sauce

• 1 pc nori sheet

• 2 tbsp oil

3. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook slices until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.

4. Line the empty luncheon meat can with cling wrap. Place a strip of nori inside, allowing it to hang over the edges.

5. Press ⅓ cup of rice into the can, flattening gently. Top with a slice of cooked luncheon meat and one slice of pickled garlic. Lift out using the cling wrap.

6. Fold the nori strip around the rice stack. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
