Ingredients

• 2 cups cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 8 ounces beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 medium carrot, thinly julienned
• 4 strips yellow pickled radish, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and any moisture has evaporated. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, then remove from heat.

Step 2

In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil, and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the minced garlic and sliced beef. Season with the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, ground black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir-fry the beef for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer to ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out excess water and set aside.

Step 4

To assemble the kimbap, place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat. Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch bare at the top edge.

Step 5

Arrange some spinach, carrot strips, beef slices, and pickled radish strips horizontally across the rice-covered nori sheet, about one-third of the way up from the bottom.

Step 6

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the kimbap from the bottom upwards, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Seal the end with a touch of water.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.
