Kimbab – Korean Sushi Roll
Kimbab is a popular Korean fast food made from steamed white rice and various ingredients, rolled in laver and served cold in bite-size slices. Kimbab is often eaten during picnics or outdoor events, or as a light lunch, served with danmuji(pickled radish or kimchi).
5 roasted sea laver sheets (nori in Japanese)
2 eggs
1 carrot
yellow pickled radish
ham (or sausage)
1 cucumber
salt
sesame oil
cooked rice
1. Whip eggs well. Fry the egg in a pan and make the egg stick by rolling it.
2. Cut carrot and cucumber into long thin strips. Cook carrot strips on a skillet with oil. Soak cucumber in salt and vinegar water for 20 minutes.
3. Cut ham or sausage into long thin strips and cook them in a pan.
4. Cut yellow radish into long thin strips.
5. Add 1T of sesame oil and 2 sprinkles of salt to the rice and mix them well.
6. Place a sheet of sea laver over a bamboo mat. Spread rice thinly, but covering well, up to 2/3 of the sea laver. (leave 1/3 of the space.) Place strips (carrot, cucumber, egg, yellow pickled radish..) in the middle of the spread rice, and place other things within 1/3 of the length of laver.
7. Roll sea laver with the mat firmly. If laver edge is not sticking on the surface, apply water lightly at the edge of sea laver with finger.
8. Brush the rolls with sesame oil.
9. With a sharp knife, slice roll into 1/2 inch thick kimbab pieces and serve them.
This was a great how to do it recipe, with ingrediants I will like. I have a friend in Korea who sent me tons of flavored seaweed laver; I have no idea how to use it, but it is good for my arthritis. Do you have any recipes that do nt include fish of any kind, including seafood, that I can use the seaweed with? All he said was to try it with rice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

um.. are you talking about slightly grilled seaweed bamboo salted? something looks like this (http://image.absoluteastronomy.com/images/topicimages/n/no/nori.gif)? If so, you can eat with rice. It is a side dish. You cannot make kimbab with grilled seaweed, because it is too crispy.
If it is wet seaweed, soak it in the water for 30 minutes and put some oil in the pan and cook it for 5-10 minutes. Add a bit of salt. Also a good side dish
Hi, I just wanna ask what kind of rice did you use? Can I use the typical rice? And some recipe says they mix the cooked rice with a bit of vinegar, whats the difference? Thanks
The regular rice will work fine. There are two different ways to season the rice – one is using sesame oil and salt, the other way is using vinegar and sugar. Vinegar and sugar is a Japanese style.
A little side note: you don’t have to use the exact fillings listed here. I grew up eating kimbap filled with a large variety of things. Imitation crab or ham is best though!
