Korean Roll (Kim Bab)  

Ingredients:
5 roasted sea laver sheets (nori in Japanese. close to letter size. 2 serving), 2 eggs, 1 big carrot, yellow pickled radish (Dan mu ji,  if you don't have it, use pickles of your choice), 1 cup of chopped kimchi (optional), 1/2 cup of ground beef, 1 cucumber, cheese (optional), salt, vinegar, sesame seeds, rice wine, ground black pepper, oil   

Rice Seasoning  for 2 sesame seed oil, salt, sesame seeds, soy sauce

You need a bamboo roll mat! (costs less than 3 dollars in where I live.)  The amount of all the ingredients are depends on person's choice.  You can add or take out  whatever you want.    

Directions:

1)    Cook rice with less water than usual.  

2)    Whip eggs well with salt and black pepper.  Fry on a skillet thick. Tke it out, and cut into long strips (1/3 inch thick).   

3)   Cut carrot and cucumber into thin strips.  Cook carrot strips on a skillet with oil.  Soak cucumber in salt and vinegar water for 20 minutes (if you don't have the time, cook cucumber like carrot.

4)  Add 1/2 tsp of soy sauce, ground black pepper, sugar, 1 tsp of rice wine, sesame seeds onto chopped kimchi and mix.      

5)   Stir ground beef on a skillet over high heat with salt, black pepper, 1/2 Tbs of rice wine and sesame seeds until cooked and dried.

6)   Cut cheese and yellow pickled radish into thin strips.

7)   Add rice seasoning in rice and mix. leave it in room temperature until warm. 

8)  Place a sheet of sea laver over a bamboo mat.  Spread rice (thinly, but covering well) up to 2/3 of the sea laver. (leave 1/3 of the space.) Place strips (carrot, cucumber, egg, yellow pickled radish..) in the middle of the spread rice, and place other things within 1/3 of the length of sea laver. 

9)  Roll sea laver with the mat firmly.  If sea laver edge is not sticking on the surface, apply water lightly at the edge of sea laver with finger.  

10) With a sharp knife, cut roll into 1/2 inch thick kim bab pieces.  If you don't have a sharp knife, make a cut into a lemon of lime every time you cut kim bab pieces (it helps blade to be clean and adds flavor).      

Quick and easy version :  Season rice, and put uncooked cucumber, ham pieces,  avocado, and egg strips. Dip gently into soy sauce and wasabi (or soy sauce with vinegar) mixture before eat.

Quicker and easier version (no mat!) : Cut sea laver into 4 pieces.  Don't season rice, prepare only kimchi mixture (4).  Place rice and kimchi mixture on sea laver and roll.
