Ingredients

Rice

  • 1.5 cups sushi rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar

Rolls

  • 1/2 can spam sliced into planks
  • 3 ounce fresh mozzarella sliced into planks and patted dry
  • 1 tablespoon tajin seasoning plus more for garnish
  • 1 ripe peach sliced into planks
  • 20 mint leaves
  • 2 sheets nori

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon chili crisp

Instructions

  • I made this for 2 people but if you are skilled and familiar with rolling gimbap, it probably will be enough for 3. I did 2 so there would be extra rice and spam just in case.

Make the rice

  • Put the rice into a bowl and fill with water. Move the rice around to make the water cloudy. Strain the rice and repeat 2 more times.
  • Add the rice to a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Wait about 30 minutes, then turn it on to cook the rice.
  • While the rice cooks, whisk together the sesame oil, salt, sugar, and vinegar.
  • Dump the cooked rice into a large bowl and drizzle in the sauce. Toss the rice with the sauce for a few minutes, being gentle to not smash up the rice. Allow to rest for 30 minutes to cool, stirring occasionally.

Prep the fillings

  • Bring a pan to high heat with some oil and add in the spam planks. Cook to crisp on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
  • Add the tajin seasoning to the mozzarella and toss to coat.
  • Optional- if you have a gas stove, you can turn a burner on and wave a sheet of nori over the burner quickly to prepare it to be rolled.

Make the rolls

  • Place the nori onto a sushi mat and spread the rice onto the nori in a thin layer.
  • Add the mint first, then the spam and peaches. Next add the mozarella. Refer to photos for help if needed.
  • Tightly roll the kimbap, then cut it into slices.
  • Stir the mayo and chili crisp to form the sauce. Serve.
