Egg Roll Kimbap
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.
Equipment
- sushi rolling mat
Ingredients
- 3 cups steamed rice
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 6 large eggs beaten
- 4 oz spam julienned; cut into tiny cubes
- 1/4 medium red bell pepper julienned; cut into tiny cubes
- 1 small carrot julienned; cut into tiny cubes
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 1/2 tbsp mirin
- vegetable oil
- 3 sheets nori
Instructions
- Mix together the steamed rice, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, and white pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
- Mix together the eggs, spam, carrots, bell pepper, mirin, and green onion.
- Grease a nonstick frying pan with oil over medium heat. Pour a 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the pan, letting it set for a minute.
- 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.
- Take a sheet of nori and place it on a sushi rolling mat. Spread out evenly 1 cup of the rice across the sheet.
- Place an egg roll across the very bottom of the rice.
- Tightly roll it up using the mat.
- Slice into 1” slices.
