I forgot to mention the ingredients in my last post:
laver, cooked rice, canned tuna, eggs again (Sorry, not trying to tease Americans.😑 I read an article that the US even came to my country to buy eggs this morning), crab-flavored sticks, spinach, pickled radish, pickled burdock root, carrot, perilla leaves, mayonnaise, etc.
While the filling ingredients can vary according to personal taste, there are some common ingredients. This means that preparing kimbap requires more effort than you might think.
Keroro said it's cheaper to buy dinner.😂
Typically, kimbap rice is made with white rice, cooked with less water to be slightly firmer.
I usually mix brown rice and barley with my rice. Because white rice raises blood sugar quickly, it is not a good habit for people whose staple food is rice. (Also, the variety of textures makes it yum!)
But adding barley makes the color too ugly for kimbap, so I only added brown rice, but it still failed. Inside the kimbap, the brown rice looks like spoiled.😭 Kimbap should definitely be made with only white rice.
The ingredients in this photo are typical kimbap ingredients, but they include both what people consider healthy and unhealthy items. I don't like to fuss over these things. Occasionally eating sugar, MSG, seed oil (How has seed oil suddenly become a public enemy?😧 Is it a conspiracy by the butter companies??), or sausages, etc won't kill you.
People who fuss over such things should never eat out. If they knew what ingredients and conditions are used in restaurants, they would die of shock before dying from such ingredients. I can say this because I had worked in a restaurant kitchen for a while due to financial difficulties when nothing was going right for me last year.
Whatever your mom makes for you, it's at least healthier than average restaurant food..😑 Just shut up and eat with gratitude. As long as you don't eat too much of anything, you'll be fine. Picky eating is worse.
Also, it's important to wrap the kimbap ingredients tightly, but since I didn't have a bamboo mat rn, I wrapped it by hand, and turned out too loose. It's been so long since I made kimbap that I've lost the touch.😗 I think it's been about three years since I last made it.
