Recipe Details: Chicken Nugget Kimbap

Serving Size: Makes 5 rolls (about 25–30 pieces)


Ingredients:

  • Kimbap Base:

    • 5 sheets of nori (roasted seaweed)
    • 15 chicken nuggets (about 340 g / 12 oz)
    • 5 cups (1 L) cooked rice
    • 2 tsp sesame oil
    • 1 tsp salt

  • Fillings:

    • 8 eggs, cooked into a rectangular omelet and cut into strips
    • 5 cucumber pickles, cut into strips
    • 10 lettuce leaves
    • 3 medium carrots (about 150 g / 5 oz), shredded and lightly cooked with a pinch of salt

  • Teriyaki Sauce:

    • 3 tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 tbsp sugar
    • 2 tsp mirin

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Chicken Nuggets:

    • Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Cook the chicken nuggets for 20 minutes or according to the package instructions.

  2. Make the Teriyaki Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, and mirin until the sugar dissolves.

  3. Glaze the Nuggets:

    • Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken nuggets and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Toss to coat and let the sauce reduce slightly, creating a glossy glaze. Remove and let cool slightly.

  4. Prepare the Rice:

    • In a large bowl, mix the warm rice with sesame oil and salt.

  5. Prepare the Fillings:

    • Cook the eggs into a thin rectangular omelet, then cut into strips.
    • Lightly sauté the shredded carrots with a pinch of salt.
    • Slice the pickled cucumbers into strips.

  6. Assemble the Kimbap:

    • Place a sheet of nori (shiny side down) on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of rice evenly, leaving about 2 cm (1 inch) at the top edge.
    • Layer the fillings horizontally: lettuce, teriyaki-glazed nuggets, omelet strips, pickled cucumber, and carrots.
    • Roll tightly, using the bamboo mat to help. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

  7. Slice and Serve:

    • Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife between cuts for clean slices. Serve fresh or wrap in plastic wrap for later.

Tips for the Dish

  • Ingredient Substitutions: Use grilled chicken or tofu for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • Rice Options: Use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier twist.
  • Make-Ahead: Prep all fillings ahead of time and assemble before serving for maximum freshness.
  • Freezing Instructions: Wrap individual rolls tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw in the fridge and microwave the slices for 30 seconds to enjoy.
