Musubi
A must-try local staple
BY Krystal Kakimoto
Details
Hand-held and simply delicious, the Spam musubi has become Hawai‘i’s unofficial State snack. The Musubi Truck serves their OG Spam Musubi that starts with steamed white rice, a thick slice of baked Spam, and a sprinkling of furikake, Japanese seaweed-based rice topping, wrapped in a sheet of nori (dried seaweed). They take this to the next level with a coating of panko (a Japanese breadcrumbs) and a drizzle of g-sauce, kabayaki (eel sauce), and furikake for their Deep Fried OG. For those not in the mood for Spam, The Musubi Truck also offers a Sooo Tofu Musubi starting with baked tofu topped with fresh cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, and cilantro served with a side of peanut sauce. If their delicious food weren’t enough of a draw, The Musubi Truck also works to feed Kaua‘i’s hungry keiki (children). Their Feed Our Keiki program converts every $5 donated to a voucher for a musubi, bag of chips, and can of juice. These vouchers are distributed to school counselors and social workers to help keiki in need.
