Chicken Katsu & Spam Musubi for Dinner! / myLot

October 24, 2016 8:21pm CST

Majority of the time my boyfriend and I have to compromise when it comes to food choices but today we agreed surprisingly! It's pretty rare for us to agree AND on food that deals with rice since I'm not a fan of rice much.. We settled for chicken katsu and spam musubi. If you never had either let me explain: - Chicken katsu is essentially breaded, deep fried chicken cutlet served with the special sauce and for our sides was rice & macaroni salad. - Spam Musubi is a slice of grilled Spam, rice, wrapped together with nori Our food was pretty good & filling! We will be having dessert soon. What did you or will you have for dinner?

I know exactly what they are as those are my sons favorites... Here's my son's version of the spam musubi - he made them all by himself and they're delicious...

@sishy7 Oh yes, I like that touch too so the rice doesn't fall out

@infatuatedbby I was thinking he should have cut the nori larger so they are wrapped around the whole thing like your picture shows... Maybe for the next time he makes them again...

I learned something new here. Is it a Japanese food? We will be having Chicken Tocino today.

I have never tried Chicken Tocino before. It is Japanese/Hawaiian inspired.

Although I don't really know chicken katsu because this is a new word for me. But I think I love to eat it since it looks so attractive. It is the food I like to eat.

Yes, it is breaded/fried chicken =) Who doesn't like fried! Lol. You learned a new kind of food today. It's Japanese/Hawaiian origin, chicken katsu.

I don't remember what I had the day of this post

! I did have pork tonkatsu 2 nights ago

! My Hawaiian friends are all about Spam musubis. I didn't grow up on that exactly - my mom served spam grilled up and we just ate it with rice.

@infatuatedbby For some reason the flavors go together, doesn't it? Maybe it's an Asian thing (my non-Asian friends think that is completely strange!).
