I used a kit but the recipe went something like this:

**yields 7 or 8 kimbap**

**3 cups white sticky rice (cooked)**

**In the kimbap kit:**

– kim (dried seaweed sheets)

– pickled radish sticks

– ham

– burdock root

– crabsticks

**sigeumchi namul:**

– spinach

– salt

– sesame oil

**Egg garnish:**

– 3 large eggs

– salt

**prepare:**

1. add a pinch of salt, one tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp sesame seeds to your cooked rice and mix. set aside to cool a bit.

2. prepare sigeumchi namul by blanching the spinach for 40 seconds and immediately cooling it in cold water

3. add a pinch of salt and a tbsp sesame oil to blanched spinach and set aside

4. prepare egg side by whisking 3 eggs together with a pinch of salt

5. fry the eggs (like a pancake, not an omelette)

6. slice cooked eggs into 1cm strips and set aside

**assemble kimbap:**

7. set up a ‘preparation station’ with all of your kimbap ingredients within arm’s reach

8. fill a small sauce dish with water (for sticking the kim down after rolling)

9. make a thin layer of rice on a sheet of kim, leaving 1/3 of the kim open for sticking

10. place your desired amount of each filling on your kim, without overloading it.

11. roll it nice and compact and dab some water onto the rice-free end of the kimbap to stick it to the outside (see video)

12. slice into desired bite sized portions and serve!
