On lazy weekends, once in a blue moon I’m crazy enough to make kimbap. It’s literally an all day event!
Once I get started, I sit there and make kimbap all morning and sometimes all afternoon!
And about halfway through the rice, I ended up running out of ingredients for gogi kimbap. So I dug through my pantry and found this can of SPAM.
Cut and fry the spam...
Get some good old American cheese...
I already had eggs from the gogi kimbap.
Put your rice about 3/4 of the way on the sheet. I usually just season my rice with splashes of sesame oil and sesame seeds. You can add sushi vinegar if you’re going to eat it *RIGHT AWAY* but I find that adding vinegar makes the kimbap smelling stale after a few hours. My husband likes to eat it all day long, so I usually skip the vinegar.
Add the three ingredients.
Roll up tightly.
Cut and serve! Honestly, although I love spam the gogi kimbaps blew the spam kimbap outta the water. =P Munchkin refused to eat the spam kimbap and made sure to ask for "gogi kimbap only please." =P At least the MR had something to snack on at midnight! hehe.
Four hours of hard work later! The MR had already taken a container with him in the morning. =P Can you believe almost all that kimbap is GONE now? I live with two men that truly know how to eat! Happy Monday, folks!!!
looks so yummy...i love any type of kimbap.

ReplyDeletekimbap seems to have a short life span. if I fridge it overnight to eat the next day, the rice is too hard. Is there a remedy for this?
ReplyDeleteif you don't finish the kimbap in 1 day & put it in the fridge, how do you avoid the hard rice?
