Egg Roll Kimbap

Kimbap has become my new obsession. As I’ve been learning about kimbap, there are more varieties then the traditional version with beef, carrots, spinach, pickled radish, crab, and cucumber. This type I’m making today is an egg roll kimbap. The rolled egg omelette contains spam, carrots, bell pepper, green onions, and mirin. The egg roll gets rolled up in kimbap rice in a sheet of nori. Slice them into 1” thick pieces and it’s kimbap time. These are great as an appetizer, snack, lunch, dinner, and second dinner.

  • Once firm, roll up the omelette. Push it to the right side and pour in another 1/4 cup of the egg mixture. Let it firm up for a minute, then roll it up. Take out of the pan. Do these steps with the rest of the egg mixture. You should be able to get 3 nice egg rolls.
