Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Short-grain white rice, uncooked
- 2.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 5 sheets Gim (dried seaweed sheets)
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 1 large English cucumber, julienned
- 2 cups Spinach
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Pickled radish (danmuji)
- 200 grams Beef, thinly sliced
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 3 tablespoons Korean BBQ sauce (gluten-free)
Instructions
Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and mix in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the fillings. Julienne the carrot and cucumber, slice the pickled radish, and wash the spinach.
In a small non-stick pan, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and sauté the spinach until wilted. Season lightly with salt and set aside.
In the same pan, scramble the eggs with a pinch of salt until cooked through. Slice into thin strips and set aside.
In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, add the minced garlic and beef, then sauté until the beef is cooked through. Add the Korean BBQ sauce and mix well. Set aside.
Lightly roast the gim sheets over an open flame for a few seconds to enhance the flavor and crispness.
To assemble the gimbap, place a gim sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread a layer of rice evenly over the gim, leaving about 2 cm (1 inch) of the top edge clear.
Place the beef, egg strips, carrots, cucumber, spinach, and pickled radish in a line along the bottom third of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the gimbap away from you, pressing firmly to ensure a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water if needed.
Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
Rub each roll lightly with sesame oil and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Slice each roll into 1 cm (half-inch) pieces, and serve with gluten-free soy sauce on the side if desired.
