Nut-freeNo reheatingAsian staple⚠️ Contains sesame
Contains sesame as written. Sesame-free swaps:
- Use a neutral oil (e.g. canola/rapeseed or sunflower) instead of sesame oil.
- Use plain, unseasoned nori instead of oiled Korean gim.
Ingredients
- 1 cup short-grain rice
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- pinch salt
- 1 sheet gim/nori
- 1 thin omelette strip
- carrot and cucumber sticks
New ingredient?
- Nori / gim (roasted seaweed): Thin dried seaweed sheets used to wrap rice. Japanese nori is plain; Korean gim is often brushed with oil and salt. Where to buy
- Short-grain (sushi) rice: Slightly sticky rice that holds its shape, so it's ideal for onigiri and gimbap. Calrose rice works well too. Where to buy
- Toasted sesame oil: A few drops add a nutty, toasty flavour. Sesame is a common allergen, so check your school's policy. Where to buy
Method
- Season rice with sesame oil and salt.
- Spread on gim, line fillings near the edge and roll firmly.
- Slice into coins with an oiled knife.
