Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil - or regular oil
  • 1 medium red onion - diced
  • 1/2 cup spam - diced
  • 1/2 cup kimchi with some juice - cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 cup cooked rice
  • 3 Sheets Nori
  • 1/2 cup canned corn
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tbsp kewpie mayo
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Gochujang
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Sushi mat

Instructions
 

  • Make Kimchi Fried Rice: In a non-stick pan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil or regular oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft. Stir Occasionally.
  • Add spam and cook for about 1 minute, then add in the kimchi and cook for another 30 seconds to bring out the flavors.
  • Add in the rice and Gochujang, stir to mix until everything is well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Assemble the Kimbap: lay a sheet of nori rough side up on a sushi mat or a clean flat surface if you prefer to not use a sushi mat. Evenly spread 3/4 - 1 cup of kimchi fried rice over the nori sheet, covering the bottom 3/4 of the nori, leaving the top 1.5 inch uncovered. Press down on the rice with your fingers or the back of a spoon to ensure it’s flattened evenly.
  • Add corn, cheese, and mayo into a microwave-safe bowl. Mix well, then microwave for 1-2 minutes until cheese has completely melted.
  • Pour 1/3 of the cheese mixture evenly across the top.
  • Tightly roll the kimbap from the bottom end all the way to the top.
  • Repeat step 4, 5, & 6 two more times with the remaining nori sheets.
  • Evenly cut each kimbap into bite-sized pieces. Serve right away & enjoy!
