Appetizingly Delicious Chicken Kimbap

{{totalReview}}
The kimbap of Korea really is an all-in-one meal of its own with rice, meat and veg that you assemble, more than cook. Here, bento artist Michelle Lim uses chicken as the main meat, paired snug with crunchy carrots and cold cucumber all squeezed into a sheet of seaweed-wrapped sushi rice. There’s quite a bit of preparation to do, starting with marinating the chicken fillets the day before. But it’s nothing messy and once done, very easy to pack for anywhere. You can substitute chicken for any meat you like, including the very popular beef bulgogi option

    • Spread a dab of water along the top seam to hold the roll together.

    • Lay flat blanched Choy Sam leaves on a sheet of cling wrap, spread out a layer of approx. 5mm thick of rice across the Choy Sam leaves but leave a gap of approx. 1 inch on the edge farther edge.

    • Place the fillings roll across the rice and begin to tuck in and roll it up.
