Gimbap: Korean Nori Seaweed Rolls

I suddenly wanted to have some gimbap, so I tried making it. Well, all I did was to add ground meat to the filling of the sushi rolls I usually make, and use Korean nori seaweed instead of regular nori seaweed.

You can use whatever fillings you like. You don't need sushi rice; regular (plain) rice is fine. The rolls are easier to make if you don't add too much filling. Leave a little space on each edge of the nori seaweed when spreading the rice on it - about 1 cm on the side near you, and 2.5 cm on the far side. This way the rolls will roll up better. For 2 rolls.

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 2rice bowls full Plain-cooked rice
  2. 2sheets ★ Toasted nori seaweed
  3. 1 dashSesame oil
  4. 1 dash★ Salt
  5. 100 gramsGround pork
  6. 2 tbsp△ Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) sauce
  7. 1■ Egg
  8. 1 dash■ Salt
  9. 2○ Shiitake mushrooms
  10. 1 dashSoy sauce
  11. 4 sliceKamaboko (or imitation crab stick)
  12. 2bunches Mizuna greens
  13. 1Toasted white sesame seeds

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the △ ground pork in the yakiniku sauce. Add salt to the ■ egg, Heat some oil in a frying pan and make scrambled eggs. Blanch the mizuna greens in boiling salted water. Slice the ○ shiitake mushrooms, put into a bowl with a little soy sauce, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 15 seconds. Leave as-is to cool.

  2. 2

    Place a sheet of nori seawed on a sushi mat with the non-shiny (rough) side up. Drizzle on some sesame oil and spread it all around using a piece of paper towel. Sprinkle with salt. Spread about 1 bowlful of rice over the nori, and sprinkle on some white sesame seeds.

  3. 3

    Add the prepared fillings from Step 2. Leave a gap in the front and back to make it easier to roll up the roll.

  4. 4

    Pick up the front end of the sushi mat and push it over the filling towards the center in one motion and press. Then keep on rolling without hesitation. The roll looks like this. Some of the filling may be sticking out from the sides, so just push them back in gently and tidy up the roll.

  5. 5

    If you cut the roll with the seam side down, the slices will be nicer looking. Wipe the knife each time you make a cut with a moistened kitchen towel - this way the slices are less likely to fall apart. Cut to whatever thickness you like and enjoy.
