Instructions
Season the Rice
Season the warm cooked rice with sesame oil and salt then mix gently. Spread it out to cool slightly so it is easier to handle when rolling.
Prepare the Fillings
Scramble eggs into thin strips, saute carrots until just tender, and squeeze excess water from blanched spinach. Season spinach with a pinch of salt and sesame oil.
Roll the Gimbap
Place a seaweed sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of rice leaving 3 cm at the top edge bare. Arrange fillings in a line across the center and roll tightly using the bamboo mat pressing firmly as you go.
Slice and Serve
Brush the outside of the finished roll lightly with sesame oil for shine. Slice into 1.5 cm rounds using a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts. Arrange on a plate and serve immediately.
