Kimbap in Korean

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make kimbap in Korean? Prepare your food. Despite the exotic nature of the recipe, the ingredients for the rolls will be very simple. Take rice special for sushi. If you don't have one, a regular round one will do.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil rice for rolls. How to cook rice? First, rinse it thoroughly in several waters until transparent.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then put the rice to cook over low heat, adding water in a ratio of 1:2 - two glasses of water per glass of rice. The rice will be ready when all the liquid has been absorbed, this usually takes 15-20 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the rice is cooking, prepare the omelet. How to make an omelet? Break the eggs into a deep plate, add a little water and salt to taste. Beat the eggs well with a fork or whisk and pour into a preheated frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil. Fry the omelette over low heat with the lid on.

5. STEP 5

   

   While the omelette is frying, cut the crab sticks in half lengthwise and also cut the cucumbers into strips. Also cut the finished omelette into strips about 2 cm wide.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the rice is cooked and cools slightly, season it with sesame oil and mix thoroughly. And leave to cool to a temperature of 38-40 degrees.

7. STEP 7

   

   Once the rice has cooled, take a bamboo mat, place a sheet of nori on it, shiny side down, then spread an even thin layer of rice over the entire sheet. A glass of dry rice should yield 4 rolls.

8. STEP 8

   

   Closer to the bottom edge, spread the filling evenly.

9. STEP 9

   

   And carefully, starting from the bottom edge, wrap the roll, compacting it with a bamboo mat as you go. Then cut your roll into portions. I got 8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce. Bon appetit!

I’ve never cooked or tried it, but I heard it’s delicious. When I decide, I'll try it. In the meantime, I’ll share my favorite salmon rolls.

I was making rolls the other day and I had two sheets of nori left. I decided to make something else out of them. I found a recipe for Korean kimbap on the website. I used special rice for rolls and sushi. I boiled it according to the instructions on the package. I didn't have sesame oil, I used rice vinegar. I replaced the cucumber with bell pepper. I made an omelet from two C1 category eggs. I measured the water with half an eggshell (poured 2 halves). The kimbaps turned out very filling and tasty. All the ingredients in them combine perfectly with each other. It tastes even better with soy sauce and ginger. Thank you very much for the recipe!

Finally, my hands got around to sushi, albeit Korean. Believe it or not, I have never tried them. Let's start with the nuances that I encountered as a beginner. Nori. The author wrote that you need to take 4 sheets. Weight is the same 4 grams. I had 4 leaves that would take 12 (there were 5 pieces per 15 grams in the pack). I took one leaf whole and cut it in half a second time. And the side is not the only one that is brilliant. In general, I shouldn’t have taken two whole sheets, since some of the ingredients remained. The sausage from the cut sheet turned out to be too crowded, and I had difficulty rolling it. Oh yes, I never bought a bamboo mat, so I rolled it up using a silicone mat. I know, I committed a crime. I couldn’t find what to do with soy sauce, so I had to Google it. Replaced sesame oil with regular vegetable oil. That’s it, no more liberties were taken on my part. What’s the result? Considering that this is my first time trying Nori, the dish seemed a little unusual to me, in the good sense of the word. The taste of cucumbers, omelet and crab sticks goes well with rice. Although I did not have enough salt in the rice, this was solved by carefully pouring the sauce on the sushi. Will I make these rolls again? Certainly! I have no complaints about the author, it was me who messed up. Thanks a lot!
