Prepare the ingredients
Remove the roots of the green onions and peel the carrots. Wash the vegetables thoroughly and let them drain.
Dice the chili, green onions, carrots, and ham into small cubes.
Tip: You can add other ingredients like snap peas, peas, onions, bell peppers, etc., according to your preference.

Beat the eggs
Crack 12 eggs into a bowl, add a little salt, a little ground pepper, and the diced ingredients. Use chopsticks to mix well.
-
Fry and roll the eggs
Heat a pan with a little cooking oil. Pour about one ladle of the egg mixture into the pan, spreading the eggs evenly to create a thin layer.
When the eggs are slightly dry on top, roll them up. Then continue to add another ladle of the egg mixture into the pan and fry until slightly dry, then roll again. Repeat until the egg roll is about the width of two fingers, then transfer to a plate.
Continue frying and rolling the remaining egg mixture.
Tip: If the rolled eggs are not round enough after frying, you can place the eggs in a bamboo mat and roll them again for a rounder shape.
-
Mixing rice
Put 3 bowls of rice into a bowl, add a little salt, a little ground pepper, 2 teaspoons of roasted sesame seeds and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Mix well so that the rice absorbs the seasoning.
-
Rolling kimbap
Spread a sheet of seaweed on a bamboo mat, evenly distribute the rice, place a roll of egg in and start rolling. The tighter you roll, the better the rice will look.
When finished rolling, brush a little sesame oil on the kimbap. Use a very sharp knife and dip it in a bit of sesame oil to cut the kimbap into small, bite-sized pieces.
Tip: You can rub a little sesame oil on your hands to make it easier to spread the rice.

Arrange the kimbap on a plate and invite the whole family to enjoy. Each slice of rice is colorful, fragrant with sesame oil, and packed with nutritious vegetables. You can enjoy kimbap with soy sauce, mayonnaise, chili sauce, or ketchup.

How to Choose Good Eggs
- Egg color: Industrial chicken eggs have dark brown shells, uniform color, with no cracks or black spots. For local chicken eggs, you should not rely on color to choose because the shell color varies by type.
- Touch test: Fresh eggs feel slightly rough when held, while old eggs are smoother and shinier.
- Shake the egg: Hold the egg close to your ear and shake gently; the longer the egg has been stored, the more movement you will hear.
- Light test: When held under a light bulb or sunlight, if the air cell in the egg is small, the yolk is centered and has a pink or orange color, and the white is clear, it is a new egg. Conversely, if the air cell is large, the yolk is dark red and has streaks, it is an old egg.
