Make delicious homemade kimbap with this easy to follow recipe. Kimbap is a Korean dish made from cooked rice seasoned with sesame oil and salt with a variety of filling ingredients, tightly rolled in dried sheets or sea weed. Vegan kimbap (or gimbap) is not so easy to find at the store or at restaurants. It's almost always filled with some sort of meat and/or fish products.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook vegan gimbap using 11 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Vegan Gimbap:
- Get 1.5 cup cooked rice (sushi rice is better)
- Make ready Roasted seaweed for Maki (about 8"x 8" in size)
- Prepare 1 pack lettuce
- Get 1 large firm tofu
- Get 1 pc cucumber
- Prepare 1 pc carrot
- Take 1 pc sweet mango
- Make ready 2 tbsp vinegar (for sushi rice)
- Make ready 1 tbsp sugar (for sushi rice)
- Make ready Salt & pepper (for tofu)
- Get Roasted sesame seeds (optional)
To translate the term - kim or gim in Korean means dried seaweed, and bap means rice. Sauté carrots over medium heat until bright orange and slightly tender. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate. Blanch spinach in boiling water, strain and press down to remove excess water.
Instructions to make Vegan Gimbap:
- Cook rice as you would normally cook it.
- While waiting for the rice to cook. Slice your firm tofu lengthwise (like french fries). Season with some salt and pepper. And deep fry it until crispy.
- Slice your carrots, cucumber and mangoes lengthwise same with tofu. Set aside.
- When rice is ready, remove from rice cooker or pan while rice is still hot or warm. Place it in a bowl. Add the vinegar and sugar to make it a little bit sticky. Then sprinkle some roasted sesame seeds to add flavor.
- Now it is assemble time! 😁
- Lay down roasted seaweed first. Then cover it up with your lettuce. Then spread thinly the rice on top of lettuce. Make sure lettuce and rice is less than the perimeter of the seaweed (about half inch?) so you can still enclose it after rolling.
- In the middle, arrange your carrots, cucumber, fried tofu.
- Then roll it! I only used bare hands, but it is easier with bamboo mat.
- Slice it and enjoy!
Remove from pan and set aside on a plate. Blanch spinach in boiling water, strain and press down to remove excess water. In my opinion, one of the best vegan kimbaps there is. I tweak the Edgy Veg's recipe (see below) to my liking and put it in kimbap with fresh perilla leaves, or gaetnip (깻잎), and cucumber. Delicious and pretty close to authentic tuna kimbap that is found in Korea.
