Kimbap (Korean Sushi)

A Korean friend, In Soon taught me this recipe some years back. This is not suitable for 1-2 persons, but it’s a great dish to prepare for potluck party.

Ingredients:
Seaweed sheets
Sushi rice
Carrot
Sausage
Crab stick
Cucumber
Preserved radish (you can get this in Japanese/Korean section in supermarkets)
Eggs
Sesame seed (buy those readily cooked/baked from supermarkets)
Sesame oil
Oil
Pepper
Salt





Method:
1. Cook sushi rice according to packet’s instructions.
2. Once cooked, scoop rice into a big bowl. Let it cool for ~30min.
3. Mix salt, sesame oil and sesame seed into the rice. Leave aside.
4. Cut carrots, sausages, cucumber and radish lengthwise.
5. Heat some oil in a wok and stir fry sausages and carrots separately and dish up.
6. Stir fry the crab stick for 1-2 min. Dish up and cut lengthwise.
*Do not cut crab stick before you stir fry as the layers will be loosened and you’ll get crab slices instead of crab stick ;p
7. Beat eggs with salt and pepper. Fry the egg, then ‘fold’ the omelet into a square shape. Cut lengthwise.
8. Place a seaweed sheet on a chopping board and spread the rice flat on the seaweed (like spreading butter on a piece of bread).
9. Place cucumber, carrot, radish, crab stick, egg and sausage on top of the rice and roll it.
10. Cut into pieces and serve. Taa-dah…here’s how it looks like!
