Making Kimbap at home is fun and rewarding! Here’s a simple step-by-step recipe:
Ingredients
πFor the rice:
π2 cups cooked short-grain rice
π1 tbsp sesame oil
π½ tsp salt
πΈπΈFor the fillings (adjust as per your taste):
π4 sheets of seaweed (nori)
π1 carrot (julienned)
π1 cucumber (cut into thin strips)
π4 crab sticks or imitation crab meat
π4 strips of pickled radish (danmuji)
π4 strips of cooked egg omelet (thinly sliced)
π1 cup cooked spinach (seasoned with sesame oil and salt)
πSesame 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.
Enjoy!π
