How to make Kimbap Korean sushi rolls
Wash and drain 3 cups of rice very well. Then, put into instant pot pressure cooker and add 3 cups of water. Make sure the rice is level off and covered in the water. Close the lid and vent. Push manual button and adjust time for 6 minutes and natural release. After that, put the cooked rice into a mixing bowl, add ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and mix them well. Set it aside and let it cool off.
Cut 1 pound of beef round steak into strips. After that, put the beef into a container and add ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Mix it well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. Next, stir fry the beef until it changes color.
Peel and cut 2 small carrots into strips and stir fry them by adding ½ tablespoon of vegetable oil and ⅛ teaspoon of salt into a pan. Cover the lid and cook the carrots until it’s soft.
Beat 3 eggs, add ½ tablespoon of vegetable oil into a non-stick pan and turn on medium small fire to pan fry the eggs. Then, cut the eggs into strips.
Wash and soak 1 bunch of spinach very well. Then, boil them in water. After that, drain the water and rinse it under cold water. Remove excess water by squeezing the spinach. Put the cooked spinach in a container, add ⅛ of teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and mix them well.
Cut 1 piece of yellow pickled radish into long strips.
