Gimbap

*These should look like sushi rolls using the same seaweed, rice and rolling technique, but the ingredients are different*

Ingredients:

*This serves 2 people but gives you an idea about what it is and how to make it*

• 4 sheets Sushi Seaweed
• Steamed rice for 2 people
• 4 Takuwon strips http://www.easterndragon.co.nz/2430.htm
• meat the same preparation as in the Japchae
• 1 cucumber
• 3 stalks of spinach
• 1/5 a carrot
• 3 eggs
• Some sesame oil
• Some salt

Preparation (It will take about 15 minutes)

1. Cut the carrots into long thin slices. (I need 6 sticks.)
2. Rinse the spinach and parboil it in boiled water. (For 1 minute)
3. Put the spinach into a bowl. Add 2 sprinkles of salt and 1 dash of sesame oil on spinach then mix it well.
4. Beat one egg in a bowl. Fry the egg in a pan and make the egg stick by rolling it. (It is better if you can make it thin.) Do the same with rest of the eggs.
5. Cook the carrots, with a little oil.
6. Slice cucumber to sushi length like Carrots.
7. Put all the ingredients on one plate. It makes it easy to roll.
8. Add 2 dashes of sesame oil and 2 sprinkles of salt on the rice. Mix it well.
9. During the process of no 4 and 5 use the same pan, don't rinse or wash it.

Making (It will take about 10 minutes)

1. Place one sheet of seaweed on the bamboo mat.
2. Put the rice on the sheet. You need to spread it thinly.
3. Put carrot stick, meat, takuwon, egg stick (all one each), and some spinach in the middle of the rice.
4. Roll it.
