How to Make Beef Bulgogi Kimbap ?
- In a large bowl, combine the steamed rice with the rice seasoning and roasted sesame seeds.
- Put 1 seaweed sheet on a bamboo (sushi) mat and nicely and thinly spread the rice on the seaweed sheet. (I covered about 90 percent of this sheet)
- Place the prepared ingredients on top of the rice (in the lower Centre of the rice) in the sequence of perilla leaves, Bulgogi, yellow Radish pickles, seasoned burdock root, cucumber and carrots.
- Once all of the components are put, lift the bottom end of the sushi Mat to cover the ingredients. When You cover them, roll up the seaweed to the top. (Paste some water or put some rice pieces at the edge of the Seaweed sheet, if it does not adhere )
- Roll the sushi roll with the bamboo Mat once more to provide a firm shape. Repeat this procedure with the remaining ingredients.
- As soon as you finish rolling them, paste the sesame oil on the rolls to give an extra nutty savory flavour and shiny look.
