🍙 Gimbap Recipe (Korean Seaweed Rice Rolls)

Make delicious Gimbap (Kimbap) at home — Korea’s signature seaweed rice rolls filled with seasoned rice, vegetables, egg, and meat. Perfect for picnics, lunchboxes, or snacks!

🕒 Prep Time: 30 minutes

🍳 Cook Time: 15 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 4 rolls

🧂 Ingredients

For the Rice:

  • 2 cups short-grain white rice (cooked and cooled slightly)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 2 eggs, beaten and cooked into a thin omelet, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned and lightly sautéed
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 4–6 strips of imitation crab, beef, or tuna (optional)
  • 4–6 strips pickled radish (danmuji)
  • Spinach or blanched kale, seasoned with a pinch of salt and sesame oil

For Assembly:

  • 4 sheets of roasted seaweed (gim/nori)
  • Sesame oil and sesame seeds for brushing and garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice:
    Mix cooked rice with sesame oil and salt. Let it cool to room temperature before rolling.

  2. Prepare the fillings:
    Cook and slice the omelet. Sauté carrots lightly until soft. Season spinach or kale with sesame oil and salt.

  3. Assemble the roll:
    Place a seaweed sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of rice over two-thirds of the sheet, leaving a small gap at the end.

  4. Add the fillings:
    Lay the prepared vegetables, egg, and meat horizontally across the rice.

  5. Roll it up:
    Using the bamboo mat, roll tightly while applying gentle pressure. Seal the edge with a dab of water or rice.

  6. Slice and serve:
    Brush with a bit of sesame oil and sprinkle sesame seeds. Slice into bite-sized pieces using a sharp, oiled knife.

🍱 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve Gimbap as a light lunch, snack, or picnic food.
  • Pair with kimchi, Korean radish soup, or miso soup.
  • Add dipping sauces like soy sauce or gochujang-mayo for a flavorful twist.

🧊 Storage Tips

  • Room temperature: Best eaten fresh on the same day.
  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day (the rice may harden).
  • Tip: Microwave briefly or pan-fry slices to restore texture before serving.

❓ FAQs

Q1. What is the difference between Gimbap and Sushi?
Gimbap uses sesame oil–seasoned rice and often includes cooked ingredients, while sushi uses vinegared rice and raw fish.

Q2. Can I make Gimbap without meat?
Yes! You can make vegetarian Gimbap with tofu, avocado, or extra vegetables.

Q3. Why does my Gimbap fall apart?
Make sure the rice layer isn’t too thick and roll tightly with a bamboo mat to secure the fillings.

Q4. Can I make Gimbap ahead of time?
Yes, but for the best taste and texture, consume within 6–8 hours.

Q5. What type of rice is best for Gimbap?
Use short-grain or sushi rice, which is sticky enough to hold the roll together.
