Main Ingredients- 6 sheets of Gim (seaweed for kimbap)
- 5 bowls of warm cooked rice
- 2 carrots
- 1 pack of imitation crab sticks
- 1/2 bunch of spinach
- 5 eggs
- 1 pack of pickled radish (danmuji)
- 1 pack of seasoned burdock root (u-geun)
- 1 pack of ham
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s begin making delicious nude kimbap that’s as beautiful as it is tasty! It’s perfect for breakfast or as a special lunchbox for children.
Step 2
First, prepare the fillings. Julienne the carrots and stir-fry them in a lightly oiled pan until tender-crisp. Cut the ham into similar strips and pan-fry until golden brown. Shred the imitation crab sticks. (Tip: Lightly salting the carrots and ham while stir-frying enhances their flavor.)
Step 3
Wash the spinach thoroughly, blanch it briefly in boiling water, then rinse under cold water and squeeze out excess moisture. Chop the spinach into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt and a little sesame oil. Prepare egg omelets by whisking the eggs and cooking them thinly, then slice. Cut the pickled radish and seasoned burdock root into long strips, draining any excess liquid. All your ingredients are now ready!
Step 4
Season the warm rice by mixing in salt, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Place a sheet of gim on a bamboo rolling mat, spread about a handful of rice thinly and evenly over it, pressing gently. Ensure the rice covers the entire surface of the gim. (Tip: Spreading the rice thinly is crucial to prevent the kimbap from bursting when rolled.)
Step 5
Flip the gim so the rice side is facing down. Arrange your prepared fillings (carrots, ham, imitation crab, spinach, pickled radish, burdock root, and egg omelet strips) attractively on the side of the gim without rice. Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the gim tightly but gently, ensuring the fillings stay intact. The key is to hold everything firmly in place as you start rolling.
Step 6
Once rolled, use the bamboo mat to shape and press the kimbap firmly. Let it sit for a moment to set, then slice it into bite-sized pieces. Behold your colorful and delicious nude kimbap! The delightful combination of rice and fillings without the outer seaweed layer is truly satisfying.
