Kimchi Filling

Method

Kimchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Cut the Napa cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Salting

    In a large bowl, sprinkle the chopped cabbage with salt and mix well. Let it sit for about 1-2 hours to wilt and release moisture.

  3. 3

    Rinse and Drain

    After 2 hours, rinse the cabbage under cold water to remove excess salt. Drain well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Mix the Kimchi Paste

    In a bowl, combine Korean red pepper flakes, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, sugar, and chopped green onions. Mix well to form a paste.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, add the drained cabbage, julienned carrots, and the kimchi paste. Mix thoroughly until all the vegetables are well coated.

  6. 6

    Ferment

    Pack the kimchi mixture into a clean jar, pressing it down to remove air bubbles. Leave some space at the top for fermentation. Let it ferment at room temperature for 1-2 days, then refrigerate.

Roll Assembly

  1. 7

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Ensure that the sushi rice is cooked according to package instructions and cooled to room temperature.

  2. 8

    Lay Out Nori

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface, shiny side down.

  3. 9

    Spread the Rice

    With wet hands, take about 1/2 cup of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.

  4. 10

    Add Kimchi and Avocado

    Place a line of the prepared kimchi and slices of avocado across the center of the rice.

  5. 11

    Roll the Sushi

    Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure. Roll until the edge of nori seals the roll.

  6. 12

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.

  7. 13

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
