A diet-friendly version of the classic Korean Kimbap using chewy brown rice. The perfect healthy lunch box idea for work or school without the fear of gaining weight.
While the cooked brown rice is still warm, mix it gently with 1 tsp of sesame oil and 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds. This makes the rice glossy, fragrant, and slightly stickier.
Briefly sauté the julienned carrot with a pinch of salt until slightly softened. Whisk the eggs, make a thin omelet in a non-stick pan, and slice it into strips. Cut the cucumber into long sticks.
Lay a bamboo mat down and place a seaweed sheet on it (rough side up). Spread a thin, even layer of brown rice, leaving the top 2cm bare. Arrange the chicken, egg, carrot, and cucumber in a horizontal line near the bottom.
Roll it tightly from the bottom up. Before slicing, rub a little sesame oil on your knife to prevent the rice from sticking. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Q: Can I store kimbap in the fridge overnight?
A: Yes, but brown rice hardens significantly in the fridge. Microwave it briefly covered with a damp paper towel before eating.
