Ingredients- 2 rolls of leftover gimbap
- 3 eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, I’ll show you how to make super simple yet delicious gimbapjeon using leftover gimbap. It’s a magical recipe that transforms gimbap sitting in your fridge into a wonderful snack!
Step 2
Leftover gimbap tends to become hard and less appealing when stored. For this recipe, slice the gimbap into approximately 1 to 1.5 cm thick rounds, similar to how you’d slice tonkatsu. This makes it easier to coat with egg and ensures a much softer texture when cooked.
Step 3
In a bowl, crack the 3 eggs and whisk them gently with a fork or whisk to break up the egg whites. You can add a pinch of salt or pepper to the egg wash to eliminate any eggy smell and enhance the flavor, but since the gimbap is already seasoned, it’s perfectly delicious without it. Dip each sliced gimbap piece into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Make sure the egg mixture evenly coats the surface of the gimbap.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Carefully place the egg-coated gimbap slices into the hot pan. We’ll pan-fry them until golden brown on both sides. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning, and fry them diligently, just like making savory pancakes (jeon).
Step 5
As the gimbapjeon cooks to a beautiful golden brown, the exterior becomes wonderfully crispy, while the inside is heated through and becomes tender, thanks to the egg coating. The diverse ingredients within the gimbap combined with the savory richness of the egg create a truly fantastic flavor. You’ll experience the perfect ‘crispy outside, soft inside’ texture!
Step 6
These easily made gimbapjeon are perfect for a satisfying snack the next day. Served alongside a warm bowl of rice, they can also make a complete and hearty meal. Don’t miss out on this fantastic way to use up your leftover gimbap!
