Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all ingredients in advance. You’ll need 6 cups of rice, 5 eggs, 10 sheets of gim, 5 frank sausages, 10 strips of smoked bacon, 20 perilla leaves, 2 carrots, 10 slices of cheddar cheese, and 10 pieces of pickled radish. For seasoning and cooking, have salt, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and grapeseed oil ready.
Step 2
Measure out 6 cups of rice and rinse it thoroughly. Cook the rice with slightly less water than you normally would for a firmer texture. While the rice is cooking, season the cooked rice with salt, sesame oil, and sesame seeds, mixing well. Let the seasoned rice cool down slightly before using.
Step 3
While the rice is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Crack 5 eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk well. Heat a bit of grapeseed oil in a frying pan over low heat and cook the eggs into thin omelets. Once cooked, let them cool slightly, then thinly slice them into strips for the kimbap.
Step 4
Cut each of the 5 frank sausages lengthwise in half. Lightly oil a frying pan and grill the sausage halves over low heat until golden brown. This step enhances the sausage’s flavor and aroma.
Step 5
Grill the 10 strips of smoked bacon in a dry pan until crispy. The bacon’s own fat is sufficient for cooking, so no additional oil is needed. Once cooked, place the bacon on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
Step 6
Thinly slice the 2 carrots diagonally first, then julienne them into fine strips. Season the carrot strips with 3 pinches of salt and gently massage to draw out some moisture. Heat a bit of grapeseed oil in a pan and stir-fry the carrots over low heat until they are slightly softened. All your filling ingredients are now ready!
Step 7
Place a sheet of gim on a kimbap rolling mat, shiny side down. Spread a moderate amount of the seasoned rice evenly over the gim, leaving a small border at the top edge. Be careful not to overfill, as this can cause the kimbap to burst when rolled. Next, layer two perilla leaves on top of the rice. The perilla leaves will add a fresh aroma and help protect the gim from moisture.
Step 8
Prepare the sliced cheese. Before peeling the cheese slice, gently score it in half with the back of a knife. Peel the wrapper and place the halved cheese slice onto the kimbap ingredients.
Step 9
Place one half of a grilled frank sausage lengthwise in the center of the kimbap ingredients. Positioning the sausage in the middle will help create a neat shape when rolled.
Step 10
Lay one strip of the crispy cooked bacon alongside the sausage. The salty and savory bacon will add another layer of deliciousness to your kimbap.
Step 11
Arrange the stir-fried julienned carrots attractively over the other fillings. The vibrant color of the carrots makes the kimbap look even more appetizing.
Step 12
Add a generous layer of the thinly sliced egg omelet on top of the carrots. The soft texture of the egg complements the other ingredients.
Step 13
Finally, place one strip of pickled radish at the very end of the fillings, closest to where you’ll start rolling. The crisp texture and sweet-and-sour flavor of the pickled radish cut through any richness and add a refreshing contrast.
Step 14
Now it’s time to roll! Using the kimbap mat, tightly roll the kimbap, starting from the edge closest to you. Lightly dampen the top edge of the gim with water to help it seal securely. Roll firmly, pressing gently as you go to ensure the kimbap holds its shape without unraveling.
Step 15
Once rolled, cut the kimbap into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a serving plate. Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds for a final touch of nutty aroma. Your delicious Bacon Sausage Kimbap is complete! Enjoy!
