Ttukdak Hyung's Gimbap Egg Pancake

A super simple gimbap jeon made by coating leftover or store-bought gimbap with a soft egg mixture and pan-frying until moist and warm.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy leftover cold gimbap in a different, moist way.
  • Busy solo cooks who don't want to spend a long time over the stove.

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1 roll gimbap
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • black pepper to taste
  • cooking oil to taste

Recipe 🍳

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add mirin and black pepper, and whisk until smooth to make the egg coating.
  2. Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil.
  3. Dip each pre-sliced gimbap piece into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly and thoroughly.
  4. Place the gimbap pieces one by one in the pan and flip them as needed, frying until golden brown without burning the egg coating.
  5. If flipping one by one is tedious, you can gather all the gimbap pieces in the pan and pour the remaining egg mixture over them all at once, cooking like a pancake.
  1. Mix eggs with mirin and black pepper, whisking well.
  2. Coat gimbap pieces in egg mixture and place them one by one in an oiled pan.
  3. Fry until golden brown on both sides, or pour all the egg mixture at once and cook like a pancake.

Cooking tips 💡

  • This method is most useful for reheating gimbap that has become hard in the fridge, making it soft and warm all the way through.
  • When pouring the egg mixture all at once, lower the heat and cover the pan slightly to ensure even heat distribution to the center.
