DIY Gimbap Night

⏱️ 40 min · Korean · Family dinner

Nut-freeAsian 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.
Ready-made products like sauces and crackers may still contain sesame or traces of it, so check every label.

Ingredients

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
  • 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

  1. Set out seasoned rice and fillings.
  2. Everyone rolls their own.
  3. Slice and share.
