Main ingredients:
4 sheets gimbap seaweed
1 cup brown rice
Some olive oil
1 tablespoon starch
5-6 lettuce leaves
1/2 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Tofu gimbap ingredients:
1 block tofu
4 shiitake mushrooms
1 cup pickled carrots
Sauce ingredients
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon oligo syrup
Some black pepper
Aged kimchi mayo gimbap ingredients:
1 cup pickled red cabbage
1 bell pepper
2 tablespoons washed aged kimchi
2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon oligo syrup
(makes 4 rolls)
Instructions:
Slice the tofu into 1 cm thick pieces, place them on a paper towel to remove moisture, and season with salt and pepper. Slice the mushrooms into an appropriate thickness.
Thinly slice the washed bell pepper. In a bowl, mix the sauce ingredients.
In another bowl, mix the aged kimchi with vegan mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon of oligo syrup.
Tip: Crushing the sesame seeds before adding enhances the flavor.
Coat the tofu with starch. Heat a pan with a little oil and fry the tofu and mushrooms until golden. Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu and mushrooms and simmer until glazed.
Mix the brown rice with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar.
Cut the seaweed in the center up to the middle. On four sections of the seaweed, spread lettuce and tofu, lettuce and carrots, a thin layer of rice, and mushrooms. Fold each section over the next in a clockwise direction.
For the other rolls, place lettuce and pickled red cabbage, lettuce and bell pepper, a thin layer of rice, and aged kimchi mayo on each section of the seaweed. Fold in a clockwise direction.
Tip: Ensure the ingredients reach the edge of the seaweed for a neat appearance when sliced.
Wrap the gimbap tightly in plastic wrap, slice it in half, and enjoy!
Tip: Wrapping tightly in plastic helps prevent the ingredients from falling out and makes it easier to eat.
