Main Ingredients- 1/2 Carrot
- 1/2 can SPAM
- 1/4 head Kimchi
- 2 sheets seasoned seaweed (Jomi Kim)
- 3 Eggs
Seasoning & Others- Pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar (for stir-frying kimchi)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar (for stir-frying kimchi)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the carrots and SPAM into bite-sized pieces suitable for the kimbap. It’s best to slice them not too thickly, matching the size of the seaweed sheet. Julienne the carrots and cut the SPAM lengthwise to fit the kimbap size.
Step 2
Lightly oil a pan and stir-fry the julienned carrots over medium-low heat. Stir-frying until the carrots are slightly translucent and tender will bring out their sweetness and make them delicious. Adding a tiny pinch of salt here will enhance the flavor even more.
Step 3
Place the sliced SPAM in a pan without oil and grill until golden brown. Grilling both sides until golden will enhance the SPAM’s savory flavor and aroma, further elevating the taste of your kimbap.
Step 4
Remove the excess filling from the kimchi, then finely chop it. Heat a little oil in a pan, add the chopped kimchi and stir-fry, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue to stir-fry. If using sour kimchi, adjust the amount of sugar to balance the sourness. Stir-frying the kimchi thoroughly until tender adds a spicy and sweet flavor to your SPAM kimbap.
Step 5
Place a sheet of seasoned seaweed on a bamboo rolling mat. Spread about two-thirds of the seaweed with rice, thinly. Neatly arrange the stir-fried carrots, grilled SPAM, and stir-fried kimchi over the rice. Moisten the edge of the seaweed with a little rice and roll it up tightly. It’s important to roll tightly so the edge doesn’t come undone.
Step 6
Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk well. It’s good practice to remove the chalaza (egg white membrane) and whisk the egg mixture smoothly.
Step 7
Heat a pan with a generous amount of oil over low heat. Ladle the whisked egg mixture thinly and broadly onto the pan. If the egg layer is too thick, it won’t blend well with the kimbap, so making a thin omelet is key. Cook slowly over low heat until golden brown.
Step 8
Wrap the thinly cooked egg omelet around the tightly rolled kimbap. Place the kimbap on the pan and lightly grill on both sides over low heat. This will help the egg layer adhere to the kimbap, making it look more appealing. Slice into desired serving sizes before it cools completely for perfectly delicious SPAM marinated rice rolls! They are especially delicious when served warm.
