Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 8 ounces beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 sheets nori sheets
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 medium carrot, thinly julienned
- 4 strips yellow pickled radish, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and any moisture has evaporated. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, then remove from heat.
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil, and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the minced garlic and sliced beef. Season with the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, ground black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir-fry the beef for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer to ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out excess water and set aside.
To assemble the kimbap, place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat. Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch bare at the top edge.
Arrange some spinach, carrot strips, beef slices, and pickled radish strips horizontally across the rice-covered nori sheet, about one-third of the way up from the bottom.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the kimbap from the bottom upwards, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Seal the end with a touch of water.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.
