| Rice vinegar | 1 tbsp |
| Soy sauce | 1/2 cup |

Instructions:
-
Let rice cool a bit:
- Allow the cooked rice to cool slightly to make it easier to work with.
-
Prepare the rice mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice with rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the seasoning.
-
Cook the eggs:
- Fry the eggs in a pan, treating them like a pancake. Once cooked, cut them into strips.
-
Prepare the spinach:
- Thaw the frozen spinach and mix it with sesame oil and soy sauce to add flavor.
-
Assemble the rolls:
- If you don’t have a bamboo roller, don’t worry, you can still make Kim Bap! Lay a sheet of seaweed on a clean surface.
- Spread the seasoned rice evenly over about 2/3 of the seaweed sheet.
- Arrange the julienned carrots, egg strips, and spinach on top of the rice.
-
Roll the Kim Bap:
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the filling.
- Starting from the end with the filling, carefully roll the seaweed sheet into a tight cylinder, similar to rolling a jelly roll.
-
Slice and serve:
- Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the Kim Bap into 1/2 inch rounds.
- Arrange the slices on a serving platter and garnish with sliced radishes.
-
Customize to your taste:
- Feel free to customize your Kim Bap with additional ingredients such as imitation crab meat, marinated soybean sprouts, cucumbers, or any other fillings you desire!
