Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Mix the freshly cooked rice with a little sesame oil and salt and let it cool slightly.
- Fry the carrot and courgette briefly in oil, separately, and salt them.
- Beat the eggs and fry them into a salted omelette sheet, then cut it into long strips.
- Blanch the spinach for 30 seconds in hot, lightly salted water, squeeze it out and season with sesame oil and salt.
- Fry the beef or ham briefly until cooked through.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo gimbap mat and spread the rice over it thinly, leaving a bare strip along the top edge of the sheet. Arrange the fillings in a line, then roll up tightly.
- Brush the outside of the roll with a little sesame oil and cut into 1.5 cm slices with a sharp, wet knife.

Tips
- Spread the rice thinly and evenly, otherwise the roll will split open or end up lopsided.
- Hold the bamboo mat tight while rolling and press the roll at every turn.
- A wet knife is important for neat slices, so always wet the knife before cutting.
- The filling can be varied: pickled radish (danmuji), surimi or avocado are also common.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between gimbap and sushi?
Gimbap rice is not vinegared (it is seasoned with sesame oil and salt), and it is typically filled with cooked and fried ingredients rather than raw fish.
Why does my roll fall apart when I cut it?
The rolling was probably not tight enough, or there was too much rice. Always let it stand for a few minutes before cutting, and use a wet, sharp knife.
