Essential Ingredients- 1 bowl of warm cooked rice
- 2 Tbsp finely minced onion
- 3 Tbsp finely chopped kimchi
- 2 Tbsp finely diced ham (e.g., Spam, sausage)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
Seasoning for Flavor- 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preheating a pan over medium heat with a touch of cooking oil. Add the minced onion, diced ham, and chopped kimchi. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the kimchi is softened and fragrant. This step helps to develop the flavors.
Step 2
Once the kimchi is nicely sautéed, add the warm cooked rice and toasted sesame seeds to the pan. Gently stir and mix everything together with a spatula, being careful not to mash the rice grains. Continue to stir-fry until the rice is well-coated with the savory mixture.
Step 3
After the rice and other ingredients are thoroughly combined, generously sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the rice mixture. Stir gently until the cheese begins to melt and coat the rice, creating a delicious, gooey texture.
Step 4
Once the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the rice, spread the mixture evenly onto the pan. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook until the bottom forms a golden-brown, slightly crispy crust, similar to bibimbap’s ‘nurungji’ (scorched rice). Once perfectly toasted, carefully roll the rice mixture into logs or individual portions. Your delicious and cheesy rice roll-ups are now ready to be enjoyed!
