 And of course, Kimbap. Kimbap is rice containing most of the time vegetables and meet wrapped around by seaweed. 
My Personal favorite kimbap ingredients are shown above in the picture: Spinach, Radish, Steamed Fish cake (Odeng), Korean meat (Bulgogi), and carrots all rolled in sesame oil. Yum!

1. Assemble basic ingredients (right side)

You Will Need

  • 1/3 carrot, julienned
  • 4 cups spinach
  • Soy sauce
  • 6 inch long half-log of takuan(pickled daikon radish)
  • 1/2 log of odeng (steamed fish cake)
  • 1 cup bulgogi
  • 4 cups cooked short-grain white rice
  • 4 sheets of kim
  • Sesame oil
  • Salt
  • Bamboo rolling mat (Helps to have, but is still doable without.)
Makes 4 servings

Lay out a piece of kim in front of you on the bamboo mat. Take approximately 1 cup of rice and spread evenly over the bottom 2/3 of the sheet, leaving a 3/4 inch border of rice-less space. If you have a rice paddle, this is the time to use it. If you don't, no worries—just use your fingers or a plain old spoon. Your kim now has a rice blanket ready to be seasoned. Sparingly brush sesame oil over the rice blanket. (Be careful, because too much sesame oil can be overpowering.) Sprinkle some salt over that and you're ready to fill.

3.20090723-kimbap-layedout.jpgWith about an inch of empty rice space at the bottom, place the filling ingredients on top of and next to each other. They want to be close together, but since it is logistically impossible to have a Jenga tower of kimbap filling,"on top of and next to each other" is the next best thing. See, Mr. Odeng is sad he is not closer to the bulgogi!

4. 20090723-kimbap-rolling.jpg
Now that you have all your fillings set and ready to go, get ready to roll. Your palms may sweat and your stomach may feel queasy, but it's okay—we can do this! Slowly and gently roll over the bamboo mat end that is closest to you, and keep rolling while pulling back that same bamboo mat edge. Once you've started the roll, the roll shape should be maintained. After fully encircling the kimbap filling (visual confirmation is suggested), give a couple of extra squeezes with your hands to firm up the roll. At this point, you can check to see if the edges of the kim are sticking together. If the bond is too loose and your kimbap are about to erupt, use a couple of grains of rice as glue.

5.20090723-kimbap-finished.jpgRemove the bamboo mat, and get ready to slice up the kimbap. Keep a paper towel soaked with some sesame oil nearby to wipe your knife.You'll need to wipe it every so often to keep the knife from getting too sticky. 

6. Eat it or wrap it up and give it to a lover! ;)
