Ingredients:

  • • 2 cups of cooked brown rice
  • • 2 tablespoons of Kakuida Premium Black Vinegar
  • • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • • 4 sheets of dry seaweed (nori)
  • • Assorted fillings: Firm tofu (sliced into strips), spinach, avocado, carrots, cucumber, or your favorite veggies



Instructions:


1. Prepare the Seasoned Brown Rice:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, Kakuida Premium Black Vinegar, and sugar.
  • Mix well until the rice is evenly coated with the seasoning. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

2. Assemble the Kimbab:
  • Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a clean, flat surface.
  • Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the bamboo mat.
  • Lay one sheet of dry seaweed (nori) on the plastic wrap.

3. Spread the Rice:
  • Wet your hands slightly to prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Take a handful of seasoned brown rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about half an inch of nori without rice at the top.

4. Add Fillings:
  • Arrange your choice of fillings horizontally on top of the rice.

5. Roll It Up:
  • Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the seaweed and rice away from you, tucking in the fillings as you go. Apply gentle pressure to shape the roll.

6. Slice and Serve:
  • Once the roll is complete, remove it from the bamboo mat and place it seam-side down.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

7. Enjoy:
  • Your homemade brown rice kimbab with black vinegar Seasoning is ready to enjoy! Dip in soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce if desired.

Enjoy your homemade Brown Rice Kimbap with the unique flavor twist of black vinegar! Perfect for a quick, healthy, and satisfying meal on the go.
