Preparation of ingredients
Super simple: Stir-fried fish cake + rice + seaweed (This alone is enough!)
Level Up: Add perilla leaves + pickled radish (doubles the crunchiness and aroma)
[Essential Ingredients]
3 sheets of seaweed for gimbap
3 bowls of rice
12 perilla leaves
Pickled radish
300g fish cake (square fish cake)
[Fish Cake Seasoning]
0.5 T Gochujang, 2 T Red Pepper Powder, 3 T Soy Sauce, 3 T Oligosaccharide, 1 T Minced Garlic, 3 T Water, 1 T Sesame Oil
[Optional Ingredients]
Perilla leaves, pickled radish, Cheongyang chili peppers (for spicy food enthusiasts)
1. Preparing and Pre-frying Fish Cakes


The key is to thinly julienne the fish cake. That way, it rolls up well even if you fill the gimbap generously. Coat a pan with cooking oil and stir-fry the fish cake first over medium heat until golden brown.
[Check] You should stir-fry the fish cake first so that the moisture evaporates and the texture becomes chewy.
2. Add the magic sauce
Pour in the prepared seasoning, such as gochujang, red pepper powder, and soy sauce. At this point 3 tablespoons of waterPlease be sure to include this.

When the broth has almost evaporated and the fish cakes have a glossy sheen, turn off the heat, sprinkle with sesame oil and whole sesame seeds, and let it cool.
3. Season the rice (Very important!)
Add sesame oil, a pinch of seasoned salt, and whole sesame seeds to the warm rice and mix well.
If you skip seasoning the rice thinking, "The fish cake is salty anyway," the gimbap will taste bland. It is a success only if the rice tastes good on its own.

After cutting the seaweed into quarters, diamond shapePlease place it down. Spread a thin layer of rice on top, add half a perilla leaf, plenty of fish cake, and pickled radish, then roll it up tightly.

To finish, lightly brush the surface of the seaweed with sesame oil and sprinkle whole sesame seeds on top, and your spicy fish cake mini gimbap is complete!

The moment I took a bite, at first The spiciness of the fish cake hits you instantly! As you walk in, the crispness of the pickled radish and the aroma of perilla leaves completely envelop you... this is Really 'instant' It was a good angle.

🛡️Failure Prevention 3 (Make sure to follow these!)
3 tablespoons of water: If you don't add water when adding the seasoning, the red pepper powder burns quickly and tastes bitter!
Cooling rice: If you place very hot rice directly onto the seaweed, the seaweed becomes tough and shrinks.
No greed: If you put in too much fish cake, even the Diamond Fist won't be able to handle it. (Keep it in moderation!)
