Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees.
2️⃣ Cook rice and then transfer into a medium mixing bowl. Add furikake and mix it in.
3️⃣ Slice Spam and put in a pan over medium heat. Cook both sides until they start darkening a bit, and then pour in Bachan’s sauce. Be sure to coat both sides of Spam for a nice glaze.
4️⃣ Place half the rice into a Spam musubi mold and press down to form the rice base. Then, season the top of the rice with shichimi togarashi, and place a piece of Spam on top.
6️⃣ For the nori, I buy ones specifically made for onigiri (2.75 inches wide) since they’re the perfect size, but if you only have the larger sheets, you can cut it into thirds. Center it above the musubi, place it down, and wrap it around the sides and bottom.
7️⃣ Put the flour, two eggs, and panko into their own respective dishes. Whisk the eggs well. Coat the musubi in flour, then egg, then panko. For a thicker, crispier breaded layer like in the video, coat a second time in egg and panko.
8️⃣ Spray the air fryer cooking surface AND the tops of your katsu with nonstick cooking spray, and cook for 10 minutes. Then flip them over, spray the side facing up, and put back in for 5-6 minutes.
9️⃣ Plate them, drizzle a little more Bachan’s sauce on top, and enjoy!
