Ingredients- 1 roll of leftover gimbap
- 2 eggs
- Cooking oil, as needed
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the egg batter for our delicious gimbap pancakes. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl. Using a fork or whisk, break the egg yolks and beat them thoroughly until smooth and well combined. It’s important to whisk until there are no clumps for a silky batter.
Step 2
Add a pinch of salt to the egg batter for seasoning. Salt helps to remove any eggy smell and enhances the overall flavor. Be careful not to add too much; just a small pinch will do. Mix it well into the batter.
Step 3
Now, let’s get the pan ready for frying. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Tilt the pan to ensure the oil coats the bottom evenly. This will help prevent the gimbap from sticking and ensure a crispy texture. Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the gimbap.
Step 4
Dip the leftover gimbap into the prepared egg batter. Make sure to coat all sides of the gimbap by flipping it gently. You want a good coating of egg, but don’t let it soak for too long, or it might become too soggy. Just enough to cover it well.
Step 5
Carefully place the egg-coated gimbap into the hot frying pan. Leave a little space between each piece to prevent them from sticking together as they cook. Keep an eye on the heat to ensure the egg doesn’t burn too quickly.
Step 6
Once one side is golden brown and cooked, carefully flip the gimbap using a spatula or chopsticks. Cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and crispy. Flipping back and forth will ensure the gimbap is heated through and the exterior is perfectly crisp.
Step 7
Once beautifully cooked, cut the gimbap jeon into bite-sized pieces and arrange them nicely on a plate. They are best enjoyed while warm! You can also serve them with a side of ketchup or a dipping sauce. Enjoy this wonderful dish made from your leftover gimbap!
