Kimbap

Yesterday Izan left mi casa to go back to Terengganu and Aina went back to work..*sobs* So here I am again continuing where I last stopped. So today I'm going to share with you how to make Kimbap.*Youtube tone ;p* Gazillion thanks to dearest Izan and Eli. Without which I couldn't have imagine making korean food.

Kimbap is really fun to make. And if u notice, I haven't been using any word as close as "cook" because kimbap is really fun it doesn't requires anything near to cooking. And the best part is, you can use just about anything in your kitchen to roll into your kimbap.

So here's the basic ingredient:

Seaweed

Rice

Yup, you're not reading it wrong. Seaweed and rice. Seaweed and rice. seaweed and rice. *ok u can stop now*

I bought the seaweed at Tesco for RM2.69 (less than Rp 10,000!) and the rice, you just cook it as you usually cook your rice. It will be perfect if you have leftover rice! (Then it will make the idea of no cooking at all more reliable ;p )

To season the rice, you can use olive oil or sesame oil and vinegar or just neglect both but but but, there's a but there..where??? *if people misheard it as butt..erkk..ok lame..continue..* but you have to mix it with salt! salt is not optional it is pivotal *means compulsory, a must,essential,vital,important-choose one*

So, when you're done mixing it with any seasoning that you like, (Owh I used about 2 tablespoon sesame oil and salt. Eli used 2 tablespoon olive oil) u can now pick the filling. I chose light mayonnaise tuna and cucumber (remove seed and julienne it about 15cm long) and omelette* telur dadaq*.

Method:

1. With your mat ready, lay down a piece of seaweed.

2. Spread about 2-3 table spoon of seasoned (or not seasoned) rice evenly. *Pressed it using the same spoon u use to scoop the rice*

3. Arrange all the filling lengthwise

4. Roll

5. With a sharp knife, cut it! *My knife wasn't sharp enough at first and the kimbap shattered!*

So, there you go. A nice and tasty kimbap ready to eat! You can eat ten kimbaps and feel full as if you've eaten one plate of rice! *Ok ok, not ten kimbaps..maybe 20 or 35 T_T now will you stop judging my tummy ??!!*
