Kimbap Ingredients- 2 servings cooked rice
- 4 sheets of kimbap seaweed (gim)

- 12 pieces of boneless fried chicken
- 2 fresh eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let me introduce you to ‘Chicken Kimbap,’ a dish that’s easy to make at home and loved by everyone!
Step 2
In the freshly cooked warm rice (2 servings), add a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Gently mix the rice with a spatula, being careful not to mash the grains. Ensure the rice is evenly seasoned and fragrant.
Step 3
Spread the seasoned rice thinly over a sheet of kimbap seaweed. Next, layer the washed perilla leaves on top of the rice. Place a cooked egg omelet over the perilla leaves, followed by the crispy fried boneless chicken pieces, arranged neatly. Layering the ingredients carefully in this order is key to a well-formed kimbap.
Step 4
Using a kimbap rolling mat, carefully roll the kimbap tightly, ensuring the filling doesn’t spill out. Apply firm, even pressure as you roll to create a compact roll. Make sure the ends are sealed properly to prevent the kimbap from unraveling.
Step 5
Slice the finished kimbap into bite-sized pieces, about 2 cm thick. To achieve clean cuts, you can slightly dampen your knife with water or coat it with a little sesame oil to prevent the rice from sticking. Brushing the surface of the kimbap with a little sesame oil before slicing adds a nice sheen and flavor.
Step 6
You’ve now created a wonderful chicken kimbap using simple ingredients. The combination of crispy chicken, savory rice, and aromatic perilla leaves makes it incredibly delicious!
Step 7
Your special chicken kimbap is now ready to be enjoyed by everyone!
