Kim Dae-seok's Cucumber Gimbap

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid peeling too much of the cucumber skin, as this reduces its signature crunch—only peel off tough spots lightly for best results.
• Adding a small amount of glutinous rice flour to the egg mixture prevents the omelet from tearing when flipping, while Korean hot mustard helps neutralize fishy odors and shrimp paste adds a subtle savory depth.
• Lightly coat your knife with sesame oil before slicing the gimbap to ensure clean, neat cuts without smearing.
