Classic gimbap

This was an extra-effort dinner but I enjoyed making it even if my rolling technique needed a little work. I swapped imitation crab for spam caramelized in some teriyaki sauce I had. I made four rolls and will be saving them for the next two lunches. Don't be stingy with the sesame oil 😋

김밥에 참치를 넣었는데 맛있었어요! ((#♡-♡#))

I live near a Korean store, so used prepared fried fish cakes with burdock I bought there instead of steak (and decided on salted cucumber instead of spinach). I have often gone to this Galleria Express to buy their store-made kimbap when I don’t feel like cooking (especially when it gets marked down at 7:30 PM 😂), but wow - FRESH, homemade kimbap is next level! Will DEFINITELY be making this again - and often!

Super fun to make!! Takes a while, but it's an enjoyable process with lots of options for fillings. I didn't have a bamboo mat, but was still able to roll them. They weren't tight and some fell apart, but that didn't affect the taste! Just add soy sauce!!

I made my gimbap for the first time last night! It's quite a victory for me since this was something I was a bit nervous to try. I didn't have all the perfect ingredients, but I decided to give it a go with what I had (cucumbers, carrots, crab and egg). I still have to work on my technique, but it wasn't too bad, if I do say so myself... 😅😂

Super easy recipe and I love how flexible this recipe is!
