Recipe

Cut the spam into long, thick strips (or desired rectangular shape).
Lay out a perilla leaf and place the sliced spam in the center, then roll it up tightly.
Moisten the edges of the dumpling wrapper slightly with your fingertip to enhance adhesion.
Place the rolled spam wrapped in perilla leaf onto the dumpling wrapper and wrap it firmly around, sealing completely.
Heat a frying pan with a generous amount of vegetable oil and preheat until hot.
Once the oil is sufficiently heated, add the prepared dumplings and cook over low to medium heat, adjusting to prevent burning.
Fry until all sides are golden brown and crispy.

Slice spam lengthwise and roll it tightly in perilla leaves.
Moisten the edges of the dumpling wrapper and carefully wrap the perilla-wrapped spam securely.
Pan-fry in a pan with a generous amount of oil until all sides are golden and crispy.

Cooking tips

You may add cheese between the spam slices if desired, but be cautious as it may leak during cooking and create a mess.
Adding blanched glass noodles inside the spam before rolling enhances texture and flavor, giving it a more authentic gimbap dumpling experience.
Perilla leaves play a key role in cutting through the greasiness of spam, so their inclusion is highly recommended.
Never add dumplings to the pan before it’s properly heated—otherwise, the wrappers will absorb too much oil and become soggy.
