Korean Rice Roll - Kimbap

Kimbap - Korean version of sushi. It's differ from Japan version in term of taste & ingredients used. For Kimbap most of the ingredients are cooked or pan fried before use and sesame oil is added to the rice and a light glaze on the roll. Usually spinach & carrot are used instead of cucumber but I do not have any today so I used Jap cucumber & carrot.

It's a very common snack for the Koreans, the last time when I was on vacation there, can be found everywhere, on the street stalls, in the restaurants & food courts.

For weeks, Kimbap was on my to do list so today manage to fulfill it. I prepared the ingredients the night before as I plan to bring it to work for my colleagues as a surprise breakfast treat.

This was what I made this morning, 10 rolls of Kimbaps.



This recipe makes 10 rolls of Kimbap.
