Recipe
(Disclaimer: I didn't have the right rice for this one, so if you're gonna try to make the recipe please use short or medium-grain white rice for kimbap like Japanese rice! ☺️)
INGREDIENTS:
KIMBAP (leftovers edition)
Japanese Rice (I used a different rice in the video because I didn't have it, but please use Japanese Rice when making your Kimbap!)
Sliced Sweet potatoes (I didn't have carrots so I'm using some leftover grilled sweet potatoes)
Broccoli (Not typically used in a Kimbap, but I'm just using it for the sake of not wasting it, you may use spinach instead!)
Shitake mushrooms (Feel free to use any mushrooms you like)
Beef bulgogi (you may use any protein you want, you can also make this vegetarian by adding honey teriyaki fried tofu)
Danmuji
Eggs
Nori
Sesame Oil
Salt
Pepper
HOW TO MAKE KIMBAP:
1. Cook your rice
2. Cook your eggs, make it a one-flat egg omelette so it's easier to cut into long thin strips
3. Blanch your spinach
4. Cut your shitake mushrooms, meat, carrots/sweet potato, Danmuji, spinach/broccoli into long thin strips
5. Stir fry carrots/sweet potato with sesame oil, salt & pepper then set aside
6. Stir fry broccoli with sesame oil, salt & pepper then set aside, If you're using spinach, no need to stir fry it, just add salt, sesame oil, and pepper & mix then set aside
7. Stir fry your mushrooms with teriyaki sauce
8. Cook your meat as you like
9. While waiting for your meat, your rice should be all cooked. Let's season it with sesame oil, salt, and pepper then set aside
10. After everything is cut and cooked, let's assemble our kimbap
11. I've got a bamboo roller to help me roll but if you're an expert in rolling kimbap then you don't need to use it hehe
12. Assemble with all the ingredients as you like then roll with the bamboo roller
13. Make another 1 and then drizzle some sesame oil on the outside of your rolled kimbap
14. Cut into 1-inch thick rolls and you're done!
