Keto Kimbap is a delightful low-carb twist on the traditional Korean rice roll, using cauliflower rice and a variety of fresh fillings. This quick and nutritious breakfast option is packed with flavor and healthy fats, making it perfect for a satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower rice - 200 grams
• Nori sheets - 2 sheets
• Eggs - 2 large, beaten
• Spinach - 50 grams, blanched
• Carrot - 50 grams, julienned
• Cucumber - 50 grams, julienned
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the beaten eggs, cooking them into a thin omelette. Once cooked, remove and slice into thin strips.
2. In the same pan, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice with sesame oil for about 5 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Prepare your fillings: blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, julienne the carrot and cucumber, and set aside.
4. On a bamboo sushi mat, lay down a sheet of nori, shiny side down. Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 2 cm border at the top.
5. Arrange the omelette strips, spinach, carrot, and cucumber in a line across the center of the rice.
6. Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, creating a tight cylinder. Use a little water to seal the edge of the nori.
7. Slice the kimbap into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
