Musubi is set to take off as America’s newest snack food. Undoubtedly a favorite snack in Hawai‘i, its popularity spread to the mainland with former Hawai‘i residents who took this amazing food with them to share with friends and neighbors.
In Hawai‘i, musubi is found wherever ready-to-eat food is sold. It is eaten at all times of the day and often shows up at potlucks, gatherings, and celebrations.
Hawaiian-Style Musubi Cookbook is Hawai‘i’s first recipe book devoted entirely to musubi. Over 80 creative and delicious recipes integrate Hawai‘i’s favorite foods like teriyaki, katsu, and chili with the traditional nori wrapper and rice. (And musubi is not only tasty but colorful as these photos show.)
Traditionally triangular in shape, this book features the rectangular-shaped musubi that can be easily made using a musubi maker or mold. (Musubi first came to Hawai‘i with plantation workers from Japan).
Ashley Oshiro, born and raised on Kaua‘i, and her husband, Tom Kowach, inventor of Ko Craft Mo Bettah and Bambucha musubi makers, have taken musubi to the next level showing how versatile this home-cooked food can be and how easy it is to prepare at home.
Their Hawaiian-Style Musubi Cookbook is destined to spread the word about how versatile, convenient, and great-tasting musubi is. Enjoy dishes like mochiko chicken musubi, beef katsu musubi, beef teriyaki musubi, and of course, Spam® musubi! Perfect for today’s lifestyle and for homemakers who need a quick, easy-to-make food for their families, this musubi cookbook is a must for your kitchen shelf.
