musubi bowls have and will always be a comfort meal of mine~ i always have luncheon meat in my pantry for times of crisis (when i’m lazy and hungry). usually, the sauce for musubi calls for mirin but I find substituting it with water works fine too! i also like to finish my musubi bowls off with a drizzle of sesame oil and extra spicy seasoning!
