Kim-bab

Midnight craving

June 1, 2013

   I can survive without Korean food for quite a while. But sometimes my Korean food craving hits me all of a sudden. I was hungry late last night and thinking what would be the best to fix for hunger. So I decided to make simple Kimbab(Korean seaweed roll). It's a Korean dish that you can easily find on a street vendor or a small restaurants in Korea and it's simple and easy finger food. It's a lot different than Japanese one. No vinegar in the rice(Korean one use salt and sesame oil for the rice seasoning) and no raw fishes. It's filled with marinated meat, pan fried eggs, radish pickle, spinach(I used cucumber instead) and some other vegetables to make the color to be stand out.

   Steamed rice is already in my rice cooker. So I add salt and sesame oil in the rice and mixed very well. And I only had sausages and the reddish pickles. That was simple and quick and also very delicious. So the next morning I decided to make a better one with more stuff inside. But it wasn't as good as last night. I guess I was hungry and craving that time so badly. So that made me feel the simpler one was better taste. I don't know when I will make this one again. Maybe another three months later? Let's see.
