Introducing a keto gimbap recipe that’s perfect for a low-carb, high-fat diet, made by filling seaweed rolls generously with thick egg omelets instead of rice. It’s healthy and satisfying as it lowers carbohydrates while providing plenty of good fats and protein. Its savory flavor is exceptional, making it a favorite for both kids and adults.
Essential Ingredients- 9 fresh eggs
- 3 sheets of gimbap seaweed (nori)
- 3 sticks of imitation crab meat (surimi)
- 12 perilla leaves
- 3 strips of pickled radish (danmuji)
- 2/3 medium carrot
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 9 eggs into a bowl. Add 1/3 tsp of fine salt and 1 Tbsp of cooking sake. Whisk gently with a fork until smooth. Beating the egg mixture well will result in a softer egg omelet when cooked.
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrot, then thinly julienne it for the gimbap filling. Remove the stems from the perilla leaves, wash them, and pat them dry. Cut each leaf in half crosswise.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking oil using a paper towel. Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture onto the pan. Cook until the edges begin to set, then carefully flip and cook until lightly golden. The key is to make thin omelets, and lightly oiling the pan between each omelet will prevent sticking.
Step 4
Once the egg omelets are cooked, let them cool slightly. Then, cut them into strips about 1cm thick to use as filling for the gimbap. For the other 3 egg omelets, do not cut them. Instead, trim their edges to match the size of the seaweed sheets. This step ensures a neater appearance when the gimbap is rolled.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the sautéed carrots to add extra flavor to your keto gimbap. Lightly oil a pan, add the julienned carrots, season with a tiny pinch of salt, and sauté over medium-low heat just until they are tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking to maintain their texture.
Step 6
Place a sheet of gimbap seaweed on a bamboo rolling mat, shiny side down. Evenly spread the untrimmed egg omelet sheets you prepared earlier over the seaweed. Then, layer 4 perilla leaves on top of the egg omelet. The perilla leaves will absorb excess moisture and add a wonderful aroma.
Step 7
On top of the perilla leaves, arrange the sautéed carrots, shredded imitation crab meat, and pickled radish strips. Generously pile the cut egg omelet strips on top. Filling the gimbap generously will make it even more satisfying!
Step 8
Using the bamboo mat, carefully and firmly roll the gimbap, ensuring it doesn’t break. Lightly moisten the end of the seaweed with water or a little sesame oil to seal the roll securely. Slice the rolled gimbap into bite-sized pieces (about 1.5-2cm thick) and arrange them nicely on a plate.
Step 9
Your delicious keto gimbap, made without rice, is ready! Though made with simple ingredients, the rich savoriness of the egg and the harmonious blend of fillings are truly outstanding. This is a must-try recipe if you’re following a keto diet or simply want a light yet filling meal!
