Tuna Mayo Mini Kimbap
Ingredients
Sauce
Steps
Mix the rice with salt, sesame oil, and sesame seeds to season it.
~3 min
Drain the canned tuna as thoroughly as possible, then mix it with mayonnaise.
~3 min
Why: If you don't drain the oil well, the seaweed turns soggy fast.
Julienne the carrot and sauté briefly; cut the pickled radish into long strips.
~5 min
Spread the rice thinly and evenly over the seaweed, top with the tuna mayo, radish, and carrot, then roll tightly.
~5 min
Watch out: If the rice layer is too thick, the roll tears or won't close — spread it thin and even.
Slice into bite-sized pieces.
~2 min
Brush the cut edges lightly with sesame oil for shine.
~1 min
Tips
- —
Squeeze out as much oil as possible from the tuna so the seaweed doesn't get soggy.
- —
Let hot rice cool slightly before spreading — hot rice makes the seaweed soggy.
- —
Wrap the roll in plastic wrap for 5 minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape.
Storage
Seaweed softens over time, so this is best eaten the same day or within half a day.
