Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 medium carrot
- 0.5 cucumber
- 4 imitation crab sticks
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 4 nori sheets
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the rice is cooked, mix in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Heat a non-stick skillet with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour in the eggs, cook until set, and then fold and slice into strips.
Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, drain, and rinse under cold water. Squeeze out excess water, season with a dash of soy sauce, and set aside.
Julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin strips.
Set out all your ingredients: sliced egg omelet, blanched spinach, julienned carrots and cucumber, imitation crab sticks, and seasoned rice.
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin, even layer of rice across the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange a small amount of each filling (egg strips, spinach, carrots, cucumber, and crab sticks) horizontally across the middle of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori and rice over the fillings, pressing gently but firmly to ensure a tight roll. Continue to roll, using the mat to help shape and tighten the kimbap.
Seal the edge of the nori by lightly moistening it with water. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Lightly brush the finished rolls with sesame oil for flavor and shine.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Kimbap!
