Gimbap

Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Gimbap, a beloved Korean dish featuring seasoned rice, fresh vegetables, and savory eggs wrapped in nori. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a delightful picnic treat.

• 2 cups short-grain rice
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 sheets nori seaweed
• 1 carrot julienned
• 2 eggs beaten
• 5 slices cucumber
• 100 grams pickled radish

Method

1. 1

   Cook the short-grain rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and mix in sesame oil and salt.

2. 2

   In a pan, add a little oil and sauté the julienned carrot until slightly softened, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

3. 3

   In the same pan, make a thin omelette with the beaten eggs. Once cooked, remove and cut into thin strips.

4. 4

   Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving about 2 inches at the top edge.

5. 5

   Place a line of sautéed carrots, cucumber slices, egg strips, and pickled radish across the rice.

6. 6

   Using the bamboo mat, roll the gimbap tightly away from you, pressing gently to ensure it holds its shape. Seal the edge with a little water.

7. 7

   Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.

8. 8

   Slice the rolled gimbap into bite-sized pieces and serve with soy sauce or pickled ginger, if desired.
