Korean Sushi - KimBop

This is Gobo Root (it literally comes in a package with dirt still on it!)
Our neighbor is Korean and she has taught some friends and I how to make a couple of dishes. One is called KimBop and Miso Soup and the other, translated into English, is Green Bean (Mung Bean) Pancake with Hot Pepper dipping sauce. The KimBop is made all the time using whatever ingredients you choose, but the Green Bean Pancake is normally made only on very special occasions.



Japanese Spinach

The egg yolk and egg white are separated, cooked,
and then cut into strips - giving the KimBop more
color.


All the ingredients lined up ready to start making.
The yellow strips to the left are diacon, it is a white
radish that has been pickled and the brown strips
to the right of the diacon is the Gobo root, which has
been cooked and saute' with hot pepper paste, sesame oil,
garlic, and soy sauce, Japanese spinach (more stem than
leaf), ground beef, and not shown are the egg yolk and egg
whites, and carrots. Note - no raw fish here!


Here's everything on the seaweed and now
it is time to roll...


The bamboo mat is used to make the roll
tight and even....



The finished product!
I almost did not share w/ Dakota and Tony because
they were so good!
