A Filipino meal isn't complete without rice. And since the Pinoys' love affair with rice dates back to centuries ago, throughout the years, they've also learned how to create delicious dishes from leftover rice, such as fried rice or sinangag.

However, Erick Paul Ganal of Epoy's Kitchen from Magsaysay, Davao del Sur shared another ingenious way of using leftover rice: by making a Japanese-Hawaiian snack called Crispy Fried Rice Musubi.

To make this dish, you'll need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups day-old rice
• 1 tsp. garlic paste
• 1 tsp. onion paste
• 1 tsp. minced basil (optional)
• 2 tsp. chopped green onions
• 1/3 cup shredded carrots
• 1/3 cup mashed luncheon meat
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 egg
• Salt
• Pepper
• Nori sheet (for wrapping)
• Cheese (for wrapping)
• Egg wash (for wrapping)
• Bread Crumbs (for wrapping)
• Spanish paprika (optional)
