Easy Kimbap Recipe

THIS WILL MAKE 7 ROLLS OF KIMBAP
- 7 roasted Korean seaweed sheets or sushi seaweed sheets
- 5 and 1/2 cups steamed short grain rice, cooled down
- 1 Tbsp roasted sesame seeds
- 14 Korean perilla leaves, stems removed
- 500g/1 pound Bulgogi (Korean marinated beef), cooked
- 7 Korean yellow radish pickle strips
- 14 seasoned burdock root strips
- 1 English or Lebanese cucumber (270g/10 ounces),
seeds removed and julienned
- 1 medium carrot (220g/8 ounces), julienned
- 1 to 2 Tbsp sesame oil

1. In a large bowl, mix the steamed rice with the rice seasoning and roasted sesame seeds.
2. Place one seaweed sheet on a bamboo (sushi) mat and thinly spread the rice on the seaweed sheet.
(cover about 90% of the sheet)
3. Place the prepared ingredients on top of the rice (in the lower centre of the rice) in the order of perilla leaves, Bulgogi, yellow radish pickles, seasoned burdock root, cucumber and carrots.
4. Once all the ingredients are set, lift the bottom end of the sushi mat to cover the ingredients.
Once you cover them, roll up the seaweed to the top. (Paste some water or put some rice pieces at the edge of the seaweed sheet, if it doesn’t stick) Roll the sushi roll with the bamboo mat once more to give a firm shape. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
5. Once you finish rolling them, paste the sesame oil onto the rolls to give extra nutty savoury flavour and shiny look.
6. Cut the Kimbap into bite size pieces and serve them on a plate. Or you can enjoy them sushi burrito style.
