Ingredients

2 cups cooked short-grain rice
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp salt
4 sheets roasted seaweed (nori)
1/2 cucumber, julienned
2 carrots, julienned
2 eggs, beaten
4 strips pickled radish (danmuji)

2 oz ham or imitation crab, cut into strips
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

11. Cook the rice, then mix in salt and sesame oil while still warm.
22. Prepare fillings: sauté carrots briefly, blanch spinach and season, fry the beaten egg into a thin sheet and cut into strips, slice cucumber, and have the radish and ham ready.
33. Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo mat, spread a thin, even layer of rice over the surface, leaving a 1‑inch margin at the top edge.
44. Arrange the cucumber, carrot, spinach, radish, ham, and egg strips horizontally across the middle of the rice.
55. Using the mat, roll the kimbap tightly from the bottom edge, applying gentle pressure to seal; moisten the top margin with water to close the roll.
66. Slice the roll into 1/2‑inch pieces with a sharp, wet knife.
77. Arrange the slices on a plate, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and serve with soy sauce or a dipping sauce of choice.
