Ingredients
Seaweed paper (specific for kimbap)
Rice (you can use a mixture of brown and white)
2 perilla leaves
Cooked egg
Avocado
Bulgogi
Sauteed carrots
Blanched spinach
Sesame oil
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Spread a thin layer of cooked rice over a sheet of seaweed paper (specific for kimbap!) and leave the last inch of the paper uncovered on one side
To one half of the paper, add 2 perilla leaves, the cooked egg, avocado, bulgogi, sauteed carrots, and blanched spinach
You can use a bamboo mat to roll the kimbap or your hands (just be careful not to let all of the ingredients explode the seaweed)
While you’re rolling the kimbap, smidge a little bit of rice (like glue!) between the edges so the seaweed paper stays intact
When you're done rolling, cut the roll into bite-sized pieces and brush them with sesame oil
Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
