Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups cooked rice, cooled
- 4 sheets nori (dried seaweed)
- 1 carrot, julienned, quickly stir-fried with a pinch of salt
- 2 small cucumbers, seeded and cut into long strips, quickly stir-fried with a pinch of salt
- 2 eggs, whisked and cooked into a flat omelet and then cut into long strips
- 3/4 cup cooked beef (bulgogi)
- 1/2 pound of spinach, blanched
- 1/2 cup yellow pickled radish (called danmuji or takuan), cut into strips
- Imitation crab
- Fish cake
Instructions
- Stir the sesame oil and salt into the cooled rice.
- Lay the dried seaweed sheets shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi roller or a piece of aluminum foil. Spread about 1⁄2 cup rice over two-thirds of the seaweed, leaving the top one-third bare (moisten your fingers or a spoon to prevent the rice from sticking as you pat it down).
- Lay your choice of fillings in a horizontal line about one-third of the way up from the bottom of the seaweed.
- Roll the kimbap up from the bottom (like a jelly roll), pressing down to keep the roll tight and keep the fillings inside. As you roll, pull down toward the ends of the bamboo mat.
- Spread a tiny dab of water along the top seam to seal the roll together. Set the roll aside and repeat to make the other rolls.
- To serve, cut each roll into 7 or 8 rounds.

Notes
- Seaweed Selection: Opt for high-quality nori sheets that are dry and crisp. Check the expiry date to ensure freshness and optimal taste.
- Rice Mastery: For perfectly sticky rice, rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear before cooking. Use a rice cooker or follow package instructions for best results.
- Rolling Techniques: If you're new to rolling sushi or Seaweed Rolls, don't be discouraged by your first attempts. Like any skill, practice makes perfect – and even imperfect rolls taste amazing!
- Custom Creativity: While the recipe suggests fillings, feel free to customize to your heart's content. Experiment with different combinations of seafood, veggies, and even sauces to create your signature rolls.
- Dipping Delight: Serve Seaweed Rolls with a variety of dipping sauces – from classic soy sauce and wasabi to ponzu or even a creamy Sriracha mayo for a kick.
