How to Make Cabbage Tuna Kimbap: Keto, Riceless, Cabbage Egg Roll Style, Diet Kimbap Recipe
Hello everyone! This is Jina, your culinary guide. Are you enjoying your way through a whole head of cabbage? Sometimes, the sheer amount can lead to waste, but today I’m sharing a fantastic recipe that makes the most of it. Let’s make a delicious cabbage tuna kimbap that’s filling and nutritious, even without rice!
Ingredients (Measuring cup as standard)- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup braised burdock root
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 can tuna, drained
- 2 eggs
- 4 sheets of kimbap seaweed (nori)
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all your ingredients for the kimbap! Have your shredded cabbage and carrots, braised burdock root, lettuce, drained tuna, eggs, kimbap seaweed sheets, and a pinch of salt all ready. This preparation will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
In a pan lightly coated with oil, stir-fry the shredded carrots. Season with a small pinch of salt to enhance their natural sweetness.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk the 2 eggs until well combined. Then, add the shredded cabbage and mix thoroughly. You don’t need to add any extra salt here, as the cabbage’s moisture will help it cook gently.
Step 4
Heat a pan with a little oil, pour in the cabbage and egg mixture, and cook it like a thick omelet or egg sheet. Using a rectangular tamagoyaki pan makes it easier to get a neat shape for rolling. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
Step 5
Prepare two sheets of kimbap seaweed (nori) and lay them side-by-side on a bamboo rolling mat. Overlapping the sheets can make your kimbap sturdier.
Step 6
Next, place the cooked cabbage and egg sheet on top of the seaweed. Position it so it’s slightly smaller than the seaweed sheet for easier rolling.
Step 7
Layer 2 fresh lettuce leaves on top of the egg sheet. The crispness of the lettuce will add a wonderful texture to the kimbap.
Step 8
Following that, arrange the stir-fried shredded carrots evenly over the lettuce.
Step 9
Then, add a generous amount of the sweet and savory braised burdock root. Its chewy texture will add another delightful dimension to the kimbap.
Step 10
Finally, add the well-drained tuna. The rich flavor of the tuna will harmonize beautifully with the other ingredients, creating a delicious kimbap.
Step 11
Now, using the bamboo mat, firmly roll up the seaweed with all the fillings. The key is to roll it tightly enough so it holds together, but not so tight that it squishes the ingredients. Your simple yet incredibly nutritious cabbage tuna kimbap is now complete!
Step 12
This kimbap offers a fantastic contrast between the fresh crunch of the cabbage and the soft texture of the egg sheet. Thanks to the savory tuna, it doesn’t need any extra sauce, providing a perfectly balanced flavor. Most impressively, even without rice, it’s incredibly filling and satisfying. It’s a truly delightful kimbap that achieves both health and deliciousness!
