Soy Sauce Dip

- 4 tablespoons of soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil

- 1 teaspoon of sugar

Instructions

1. Mix rice vinegar, salt, sugar, and sesame oil together, then add it to the rice. Mix well to evenly season the rice and set aside to cool.

2. Toast the seaweed sheets on a dry pan until they become slightly crispy. Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of toasted seaweed on top.

3. Spread a thin layer of seasoned rice onto the seaweed, leaving about 3cm of space at the top edge.

4. Arrange various fillings on the rice. Place the carrot, sweet potato starch noodles, blanched spinach, imitation crab meat, sliced egg, and sausage in the center.

5. Roll the seaweed tightly around the fillings while gently pressing down to shape the roll. Moisten the top edge of the seaweed with water and press to seal the roll.

6. Wrap the roll with the bamboo sushi mat to secure its shape. Moisten the edge with water and press to seal the end.

7. Transfer the rolled kimbap onto a cutting board and wrap it with plastic wrap. Let it rest for about 5 minutes to set.

8. Slice the kimbap into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
