Most ingredients can be purchased at a normal grocery store. If they don't carry a specific ingredient, a Japanese market like Marukai or Mitsuwa will have it!
Easy enough, right? But let's get into more detail!

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Start cooking your rice, as that takes the longest to cook. 

2. Mix soy sauce, sugar, and mirin in a small pot and heat on low until warm. 

3. ​Cut spam into 10 slices and cook in heated pan.

4. ​Cut 5 large nori sheets in half to make 10 sheets.

5. Place musubi mold onto nori and then place about a half spatula amount of rice into the mold. (All pictured below).

6. ​Dip cooked spam pieces into the sauce and then place in the mold on top of rice layer.

7. ​Sprinkle furikake on top of spam in the mold.

8. ​Put another layer of rice (same size) on top of furikake.

9. ​Use second musubi piece to press down and compact all the layers so it doesn't fall apart.

10. Pull up the mold piece in order to free the musubi (which should slide out easily), as you continue to press down on the second piece.

11. ​Fold nori around the musubi.

12. ​Serve and enjoy!

Not the prettiest but just as delicious!
