Ingredients- 1 bowl of cooked rice
- 1 can of tuna (small)

- Sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 5 leaves of aged kimchi (Mukimchi)
- A pinch of sesame seeds
- 1 pinch of sugar (to remove kimchi’s strong odor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make some irresistible aged kimchi wrap rolls that will keep you coming back for more!
Step 2
Gather your ingredients: 1 bowl of cooked rice, 1 small can of tuna, 2 Cheongyang peppers, a little sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 5 aged kimchi leaves, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a tiny pinch of sugar to neutralize any strong fermented odor from the kimchi.
Step 3
In a bowl, place 1 bowl of warm cooked rice. Add a drizzle of sesame oil, a pinch of sesame seeds, and the pinch of sugar. Mix everything well. Since the aged kimchi is already seasoned, you won’t need any additional salt. Mixing while the rice is warm helps the sesame oil and sugar meld beautifully, creating a more fragrant and tender rice base.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine 1 small can of tuna (make sure to drain the oil thoroughly), 2 finely chopped Cheongyang peppers, and 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Mix this well to create your flavorful filling. Draining the tuna oil is crucial for a clean, non-greasy taste.
Step 5
Rinse the aged kimchi leaves gently and pat them dry. Lay one kimchi leaf flat. Place a portion of the seasoned rice onto the kimchi leaf, followed by a generous amount of the tuna mixture. Carefully roll the kimchi leaf around the rice and tuna filling, as if making a small wrap or roll.
Step 6
And there you have it – delicious aged kimchi wrap rice rolls! The satisfying crunch of the kimchi, combined with the savory tuna and spicy peppers, makes for an incredibly addictive dish that’s perfect for a light meal or a special appetizer. Enjoy this unique culinary creation!
