Korean Sushi (kimbap)


Two of my close friends here are from Korea and one of my friend's hubby is  chef in a Korean Restaurant  ! I was very lucky to have a friend whose hubby is a chef, many times when  her hubby used come back from work he always brought  the  restaurant food  for their dinner and if I am with her during that time he gives a share of the food to me too and I was lucky several times ! Thats how my love for  Korean food started :)
Korean Sushi was one of my favourite among them and my friends tought me how to make that at home, my friend even bought me a roasted sea weed sheets for me to try sushi at home,she even offered to come home and show me how to make it, but before she could comeover I decided to try it myself and I was very happy with the result. So here is a recipe from my friend Mijong :)

Ingredients

Cooked sushi rice - 2 cup
Korean Fish cake - 2
Carrot - 2 nos
Cucumber - 1/2 of a cucumber
Egg - 1
Sesame seeds - 2 tbs
Sesamae oil - 2 tbs
Roasted seaweed sheets - 3-5

Method
 
1. Cut carrot and cucmber to long thin  slices.
2.Make and omlette in a pan adding little salt and pepper and cut into stripes.
3.Fry the fish cake according to package instructions and make into  stripes .
4.Mix the cooked rice with little salt,sesame seeds and seasame oil.
5.Place the seaweed sheets on a bamboo mat ( I didn't have that,so I used kitchen foil) and spread the cooked rice as shown in the picture and make sure you leave some space in the other end of the seaweed sheet.
6.Place the fillings on top of the cooked rice as shown in the picture.
7. Roll it tightly with a bamboo mat and stick the end with some cooked rice.
