Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the ‘Spicy Fish Cake Stir-fry’ which will be the filling for our kimbap. Cut the 4 pieces of fish cake into long, uniform strips (about 1cm thick) that are easy to handle in kimbap. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of olive oil. Add the cut fish cakes and begin to stir-fry.
Step 2
Once the fish cakes start to become slightly translucent, add 1 Tbsp of minced garlic and stir-fry together to release its aroma. The fragrance of garlic will make it even more delicious.
Step 3
Add 2 Tbsp of soy sauce to give the fish cakes a savory depth. Stir well to ensure the soy sauce is evenly distributed.
Step 4
For a subtle and sophisticated sweetness, add 1 Tbsp of maple syrup. Using maple syrup instead of sugar can provide a deeper flavor.
Step 5
Add 1 Tbsp of hot red pepper powder to bring in the spiciness. You can increase the amount if you like it spicier, or decrease it if you prefer a milder taste.
Step 6
Finally, add 1 Tbsp of corn syrup for a glossy finish and to balance the overall flavors. Continue to stir-fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until all the seasonings are well absorbed by the fish cakes.
Step 7
Ta-da! The ‘Spicy Fish Cake Stir-fry’ that will make your mouth water is ready. Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. This mixture is great for various dishes.
Step 8
Now, let’s prepare the rice for the kimbap. Take 2.5 bowls of cooked rice and season it lightly with a little sesame oil and salt. Gently mix with a spatula so the rice grains don’t clump together; this ensures a fluffy and delicious rice texture.
Step 9
Place 3 sheets of gim on a bamboo rolling mat. Spread about 2/3 of the prepared rice thinly and evenly over the gim. Be careful not to use too much rice, as it can cause the kimbap to burst.
Step 10
Place 2 perilla leaves side-by-side on top of the rice to add a refreshing aroma. Perilla leaves cut through the richness and provide a fresh flavor to the kimbap.
Step 11
Generously add the prepared ‘Spicy Fish Cake Stir-fry’ on top of the perilla leaves! Using plenty of fish cake makes it more satisfying to bite into and much tastier. Using the bamboo mat, roll it up tightly, enclosing the ingredients.
Step 12
Your delicious ‘Spicy Fish Cake Kimbap’ is complete! Remove it from the mat and shape it.
Step 13
Brush the surface of the kimbap with sesame oil for an even more appetizing and nutty flavor. Slice it into bite-sized pieces (about 1.5cm thick). Dipping your knife in a little water before slicing can prevent the rice from sticking and result in cleaner cuts.
Step 14
Arrange the freshly sliced Spicy Fish Cake Kimbap beautifully on a plate. The vibrant colors alone will make your mouth water!
Step 15
Finally, sprinkle some sesame seeds over the top for added nuttiness and visual appeal.
Step 16
