Main ingredients:

  • 3-4 carrots
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 cups rice
  • 3 sheets gimbap seaweed
  • Some cooking oil
  • Some salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Rice seasoning ingredients:

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Some sesame seeds
  • (serves 2)

Instructions:

Wash the carrots thoroughly and slice them into thin strips using a vegetable slicer.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and stir-fry the sliced carrots. Add some salt to season.

When the carrots are halfway cooked, add minced garlic and sesame oil, and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool.

Beat the eggs and mix in some salt, then strain the mixture through a sieve.

Heat a pan with a little oil, pour the egg mixture, and roll it 3-4 times to make a rolled omelet.

Once cooled, slice the rolled omelet at a diagonal to create overlapping heart-shaped pieces.

Mix the cooked rice with the rice seasoning ingredients.

Spread a thin layer of rice on the seaweed sheet, then add the stir-fried carrots and egg. Roll the gimbap tightly.

Slice the gimbap into bite-sized pieces, place them on a plate, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
