| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the fillings: cook the egg into an omelet, roll it, and slice into thin strips. Sauté the sausage pieces lightly with a small amount of margarine. Boil the carrot strips briefly to soften them. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Cut the cucumber into long strips. |
| 2 | Mix the cooked rice with sesame oil and soy sauce thoroughly to add flavor. |
| 3 | Lay the seaweed sheet (nori) flat on a clean plastic wrap placed on a bamboo sushi mat (makisu). Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned rice over the nori, leaving a small margin at the edge to seal the roll later. |
| 4 | Arrange the prepared fillings in a line on top of the rice, near one edge of the sheet. |
| 5 | Slowly roll the seaweed sheet over the fillings, using the bamboo mat to gently compress and shape the roll. Make sure it is tight but not too squeezed to avoid breaking. |
| 6 | Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the kimbab into bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces such as spicy chili sauce or mayonnaise for an added kick. |
Kimbab is not only delicious but also versatile — you can customize the fillings according to your preference or what you have on hand. At Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe, we love serving dishes that combine tradition and freshness, making kimbab a perfect example of that philosophy.
Whether you make it for a family picnic, a lunchbox treat, or a simple snack, this recipe offers a delightful balance of textures and flavors: the crispness of cucumber and lettuce, the softness of rice and egg, and the savory notes of sausage enhanced by sesame oil.
