We're having a potluck at work today. So I've decided to make Kimbap. I went to Lotte on Friday to pick up all my ingredients: carrots, spinach, cucumber, and fish cake. The rest of the ingredients I already have: pickle radish, seaweed, sesame oil, sesame seed, imitation crab meat, eggs, rice and salt.
On Sunday I started to cut and prepare all of the stuff:
- Carrots - peel and julienned. Lightly stir fried w/ a sprinkle of salt.
- Spinach - rinse it and parboil it in boiled water. Drain it and add a sprinkle salt and a dash of sesame oil.
- Cucumbers - julienned and add a sprinkle of salt.
- Fish cake - lightly pan fried with a little of oil and julienned.
- Pickle radish - julienned
- Imitation crab meat - separate it in smaller portion.
- Eggs - beat in bowl w/ sprinkles of salt. Fry the egg in a pan and make the egg stick by rolling it. Mine ended up sticking to to pan. But it's ok since you can't really tell when it's wrapped.
- Rice - washed and put it in rice cooker. Let the rice cool and add salt, sesame oil and seeds. I woke up this morning, I was like "SH*T, I don't think I press the cook button." When I went to check the rice, it looks cooked but it's VERY MUSHY. I think after hours of keep warm the rice cooked but nasty. I couldn't use that batch so I have to quickly make new rice.
- Spread thin layer of rice over seaweed paper.
- Add all the julienned ingredients.
- Grab one side of the seaweed paper and begin to fold down and roll together tightly.
- Dab your cutting knife w/ water then cut the roll so the rice won't stick to your knife.
I also made the Chicken wrapped in Pandan and Red bean (dessert) soup this weekend. I'll have to post those later.
