How to make Kimbap at home

Making Kimbap at home is fun and rewarding! Here’s a simple step-by-step recipe:



Ingredients

πŸ€For the rice:

πŸ€2 cups cooked short-grain rice

πŸ€1 tbsp sesame oil

πŸ€½ tsp salt

🌸🌸For the fillings (adjust as per your taste):

πŸ€4 sheets of seaweed (nori)

πŸ€1 carrot (julienned)

πŸ€1 cucumber (cut into thin strips)

πŸ€4 crab sticks or imitation crab meat

πŸ€4 strips of pickled radish (danmuji)

πŸ€4 strips of cooked egg omelet (thinly sliced)

πŸ€1 cup cooked spinach (seasoned with sesame oil and salt)

πŸ€Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)


Instructions


1. Season the rice:

Mix cooked rice with sesame oil and salt. Let it cool slightly.


2. Prepare the fillings:

Stir-fry julienned carrots in a little oil until soft.

Slice cucumbers thinly.

Cook a thin egg omelet, roll it up, and slice into strips.

Prepare other fillings like pickled radish and spinach as needed.


3. Set up your station:

Place a bamboo mat (or clean towel) on a flat surface. Lay a sheet of seaweed (shiny side down) on top.


4. Assemble the kimbap:

Spread a thin layer of seasoned rice on the seaweed, leaving about 2 cm at the top edge bare.


Lay your fillings horizontally across the rice in the middle.


5. Roll it up:

Use the bamboo mat to tightly roll the kimbap away from you. Press firmly as you roll to keep it compact. Seal the edge with a bit of water.


6. Slice and serve:

Brush the roll lightly with sesame oil for shine and extra flavor. Sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.


Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
