Ingredients- 2 Mini Gimbap rolls
- 2 Fresh Eggs
- Cooking Oil (generous amount)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your two mini gimbap rolls, the stars of our egg-rolled gimbap. Crack two fresh eggs into a bowl and whisk them thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined. It feels like half the work is already done!
Step 2
Now, let’s start making the egg-rolled gimbap. Heat a pan over medium heat and generously add cooking oil. It’s crucial to use a well-heated pan; if it’s not hot enough, the egg mixture won’t spread evenly, and the gimbap might stick or tear. This is a fundamental tip for any pan-fried dish, not just egg rolls. Once the pan is hot, carefully pour in the beaten eggs. Quickly place the two mini gimbap rolls side-by-side in the center of the egg mixture.
Step 3
As the egg mixture begins to set, start rolling the gimbap gently towards one edge, folding the egg over it. Don’t worry about creating a perfect shape right away. We’ll shape it later, so for now, focus on ensuring the gimbap is well-covered by the egg.
Step 4
Continue to roll the gimbap, allowing the egg to cook and wrap around the gimbap rolls. It’s important to work quickly while the egg is still warm and pliable; if it cools down, it becomes harder to shape. Gently roll it up, as if tucking the gimbap into a cozy blanket of egg.
Step 5
Once the gimbap is sufficiently rolled and encased in egg, it’s time to shape it. Use a bamboo sushi mat (makisu) or a clean kitchen towel to form the rolled egg gimbap into a neat, cylindrical shape. Place the warm roll onto the mat and gently roll it back and forth to achieve your desired shape. Shaping it while it’s still warm will help it set better.
Step 6
This shaping technique is similar to what you might see in skilled Japanese tamagoyaki preparations! By carefully shaping it, you’ll create a more appealing and professional-looking egg-rolled gimbap. Just like the saying goes, ‘Food that looks good tastes good,’ and a beautiful presentation enhances the flavor.
Step 7
Voila! Your beautifully rounded egg-rolled gimbap is ready. Now, let’s slice it into manageable pieces. Cut it just like you would a regular gimbap roll, into bite-sized portions. To ensure clean cuts and prevent sticking, you can slightly dampen your knife with water or make shallow scores before slicing. Whether you call it ‘Egg Rolled Gimbap’ or ‘Mini Gimbap Egg Roll,’ the taste will be exceptional!
Step 8
Let’s take a peek inside! You can see the gimbap core embraced by layers of fluffy, tender egg. It’s truly mouthwatering, isn’t it? It’s amazing how two mini gimbap rolls can be transformed into such a generous and impressive dish!
Step 9
Those two mini gimbap rolls have now become a satisfying single serving. Arrange your beautifully crafted egg-rolled gimbap on a plate, and a delightful meal is ready to be served. Remember, leftover gimbap can be reborn into something truly special!
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds generously over the top for an extra burst of nutty flavor and visual appeal. Your special egg-rolled gimbap, made from leftover mini gimbap, is now ready to be enjoyed. We hope it adds a touch of deliciousness to your table!
