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
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.
