Essential Ingredients- 3 large eggs
- 2 sheets of Kimbap seaweed
- 1/2 medium carrot (approx. 50g)
- 1/2 bell pepper (any color, approx. 50g)
- 1 large leaf of red cabbage (approx. 30g)
- Cooked short-grain rice (preferably brown rice), about 1.5 bowls (warm)
- A little olive oil (for cooking)
- A pinch of salt (for the egg mixture)
- A little sesame oil (for seasoning the rice)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash and drain the vegetables. Julienne them into thin strips, about 0.5 cm thick. Cutting all vegetables to a similar thickness will ensure an even and aesthetically pleasing filling when you roll the kimbap.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the 3 eggs. Add a pinch of salt and whisk thoroughly with chopsticks until the yolks and whites are well combined, creating a smooth egg mixture.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add a little olive oil. Pour the beaten egg mixture thinly to make an egg crepe. Avoid making it too thick, as this will help prevent the kimbap from breaking when rolled. Once both sides are golden brown, let it cool slightly, then slice it into lengths suitable for your kimbap.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the warm cooked rice with a little sesame oil and a pinch of salt. Gently mix with a spatula or spoon, being careful not to mash the rice grains. Aim for a slightly firm, fluffy texture; overly moist rice can cause the kimbap to unravel.
Step 5
Place a sheet of kimbap seaweed on a bamboo rolling mat. Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned rice over the seaweed, leaving about a 1 cm border at the top. Arrange the sliced egg crepe and the julienned vegetables (carrot, bell pepper, red cabbage) attractively over the rice. Be mindful not to overfill, as this can cause the kimbap to burst.
Step 6
Starting from the edge closest to you, use the bamboo mat to tightly roll the kimbap. Apply gentle, even pressure as you roll, ensuring a compact cylinder. Once rolled, you can wrap the kimbap in the mat again briefly to help it hold its shape. Finally, slice the kimbap into bite-sized pieces (about 1.5 to 2 cm thick) to reveal the colorful and healthy Vegetable and Egg Kimbap!
