I like making spam musubi as well. My sauce recipe is 2 parts sugar, 1 part oyster sauce, 1 part soy sauce. Reduced fat spam, marinate in the sauce and then fry and top the rice. Very simple.

Another really great dish to make with spam is budaejigae.

"I got some inspiration from Maangchi though I also have a Korean-American cookbook that I referenced as well when starting to make this food. If you'd like I can upload a photo of that recipe. Otherwise Maangchi's recipe is really solid. I think the biggest difference is how many anchovies the cookbook adds to the stock, which is made ahead of time. Maangchi doesn't use a prepared stock for this recipe but rather makes up a quick stock before making the soup.

Anyway, it's pretty much an "everything and the kitchen sink" soup. I found that I don't really care for hot dogs or sausage in it, but the spam is completely non-negotiable, and I cut it into nice large cubes, as its flavor contrasts really nicely with the fishy/spicy/funky broth. So I like to get almost a mouthful of spam when I eat a piece of that. So I cut it to almost fill a soup spoon. Pork belly is definitely a good other protein to add. Onion should definitely be used here, probably green and white onions for this dish is what I would do most of the time. Shiitake mushrooms of course. And something I consider really important too, enoki mushroom. If you haven't tried these, they're super tiny thin and long mushrooms that are slightly crisp like a vegetable when raw. When you cook em they get soft and "noodle-like" so it's almost like little noodles made of mushroom. So I love those in there. Definitely add some kimchi as well, and some of the brine from the kimchi can be a good addition for flavor too. I don't go too crazy with that though and give the broth most of its flavor from the stock (which I make ideally with anchovy, kombu, scallion whites, and green peppers, if I have all of those things) and the addition of gochujang and gochugaru. I like a little doenjang in there as well. Otherwise there isn't much else to it. Add the ingredients that take longest to cook first. Add dried instant noodles towards the end of cooking. And always serve with some American cheese on top."
