How to Make Kimbap

[@bhorowitz2534]

I feel Martina didn't stress the most important part of the Kimbap making process. My first few Kimbap rolls didn't out so good. but after my 2nd roll I sang Martina's "Toasty rice fingers" song as I made the Kimbap. They turned out much better. That step is very important.

martina slays with her eyeliner

[@sproutpuppy8216]

Here eye makeup in general is gorgeous 🥺

[@eatyourkimchi]

So, I just went around publishing a bunch of Dutch subtitles. I don't know who you are that made so many, but thank you. You're very kind :D

[@keannawilliams2094]

Hi

[@FionaValerie21]

YES more Dutchies

[@Madeline96]

Martina's eye makeup is stunning!

[@godfreyfrancesco5419]

Wow. Martina looks exceptionally cute in this video XP

[@BonnieChun]

For future kimbap makers (Martina most likely already know this since there's so many critics on the comment section LOL) 1. To make your kimbap more delicious; add some sesame oil and salt to your rice. It adds really nice flavor and I DONT go back to using plain rice... i just cant LOL 2. Only add rice to 2/3 of the seaweed. It doesn't make a THICKK kimbap and it shouldn't have a problem "spilling out". 3. Putting water on the edge to seal is a good idea but kimbaps also will stay in place when laying it on the side where the edge is. Just laying it down on the edge and keeping it there for a couple minutes will keep it together. 4. I think the most important ingredient for kimbaps are the pickled radish... even if i have no ingredients left but I still have pickled radish, the kimbap still tastes good d:

[@marissamitchell1802]

I have watched another youtube channel called Maangchi, she does Korean cooking. She seared the seaweed wrap before wrapping the Kimbap. I would love to see Simon and Martina cooking with Maangchi.

[@kyliejosphine2431]

i knew maangchi too ! 😀

[@evanbak2893]

Marissa Mitchell I’ve seen and tried some of mangchi’s recipes. They’re not that good but are made more to look good.

[@carolinechun3580]

​@evanbak2893 I'm korean & the way Maangchi make her food is the way most korean makes it.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Hooray for English subtitles, that are now up. Someone made them and submitted them. Thank you!

[@m.someone6792]

+Simon and Martina Thank you for making the video!

[@ianwilliams7169]

I didn't get the juliette part until martina said "SHINEE" and then it popped out in my head why you were singing a song shinee. xD

[@j-hope831]

Don't worry me too

Martina's eye make up is lit!!!

[@msmills3030]

Martina, your makeup looks fabulous!! I know this was a while ago, but it looks awesome. Simon, your makeup looks good, too.

[@8613mvp]

She mentioned spirited away and I got excited lol that is my favorite movie

[@faeairi]

Martina!

[@TheUunaa]

Juliet side down. i always remember it when i make kimpap. thanks simon and martina :)

[@lunadiy5842]

Kimbap*

[@danielepala1132]

I've probably watched this video more than 10 times but it always makes me laugh... love them~~

[@eatyourkimchi]

You wash rice to remove the starch to make it less sticky (or to pick out rocks but my rice doesn't come with rocks...) The rice cooker will steam to death any bacteria and dirt, while washing it under tap water will not kill anything! :D

[@gregsatur2792]

I love Kimbap!!! This episode was very informative and fun to watch!

[@andielisa7660]

Hey Martina..i wonder if you ever posted any make up tutorials video. I always love the way you do your eyes, especially this one. winged on point! huggles for simon and spudgy and meemers

[@TheVloggingPhaseJM]

I think there's a separate KZbin channel for her tutorials and girly stuff!

[@andielisa7660]

***** thanks!

[@bhellapark]

why are you not rinsing/washing your rice??

[@Tehmora]

I believe that with rice cookers, you really don't need to, and if you do, you have to take care not to over soak it, as it can turn mushy instead of soft but firm (al dente?). Your rice needs texture, and the rice cooker is especially made to do that.

[@bhellapark]

we use rice cookers???i think it's the type of rice they use..but most likely i see most of the time koreans still clean or rinse their rise before cooking it

[@Tehmora]

bhella park Ah most likely. I usually wash my rice and let it soak for two hours and cook it with a saucepan. I think I use Basmati Rice?

[@ilishazana6988]

Yep. I’m asian and i can guarantee you’re supposed to wash the rice before cooking. God knows what’s in them during production so it’s better to wash them. Washing also removes some starch, making them less sticky and mushy. For short grain rice, it’s advisable to wash only once as it’s normally eaten a little bit sticky.

[@teresasimpson5143]

I think Id prefer Simon's "ranch" to the regular mayo, lol.

[@richardbouska1504]

Martina I love your attitude and sense of humor your so funny I love it.

[@sparkling59]

This popped up on my recommended again after 8 years and man so much has changed ;-; I saw Spudgy in the background for a few seconds and my heart just burst, I miss that old little guy. I miss the Korean recipes, kpop references, and old apartment too. this video was very nostalgic ;-;

[@D4MNTH3D4RK]

In korea you can buy kimbap for about a dollor In US you can buy in the Korean market for $5 :D I'm just going to be making my own from now on.

[@Blastmynameisstefi]

When you started singing SHINee i cried

[@andiesilly12]

Well Kimbap and Sushi ARE kind of similar. They basically have the same principal. Rice roll wrapped in seaweed with things inside. I suppose the big difference is Japan has a ton of variations and Korea only has that one roll.

[@ちらし-c8i]

***** modern gimbap is extremely influenced by japanese nori maki! but the act of rolling laver with rice and ingredients are indigenous to both countries. however, gimbap stayed as a commoner's food while japan's sushi (which also was a commoners food) kinda became branched out :D

[@hhelenawang]

your spontaneous songs make my day

[@Makrobar]

one of my cousins was born and raised in Korea and when she came to America to meet our family for the first time, she showed us all kinds of Korean foods to make, and kimbap was one of them. it's a really yummy snack :3

[@littlegirl7486]

I love spirited away

[@KobaTeru]

When the Seoul Olympics in 1988, but it was the name that is referred to as "韓国風海苔巻き(Korean-style Nori-Maki)"? By the way, the "North Korean cuisine's "海苔巻き(Nori-Maki)", What's the difference? By the way, Japanese wash the rice.

[@TheZombieGaming]

in the uk we have a drink dandelion and burdock :)

[@AiLikeLoveYou]

the way my mom makes it, and the way i find it packaged at hmart is by putting carrot, spinach, danmuji, stir fried ground beef, imitation crab, egg, and sausage. and sometimes she puts kimchi in it when i ask to make it spicy ^^ i dont know if its the "traditional" way to make it, but thats how i find it whichever korean market we go to, and thats how my family makes it. and she adds a little bit of salt and sesame oil into the rice

[@ErikinaDaisy]

OMG! Martina's song about her pottery job is epic win!!

[@JesslynCw]

Martina look really pretty here :3

[@yvekris]

Loves mayonnaise you say? *creeper smile* LUHAN SAYS TO FREAKEN ENJOY THE MAYO

[@Inunah]

Cheese in ramen is DELICIOUS! Especially if it's that cheddar instant ramen cup. If you guys don't know what I'm talking about I will find a way to get a case of it and SEND IT TO YOU IMMEDIATELY so you can then add processed cheese into it.

[@amberrosepillay]

idk what that is so SEND IT TO ME AT ONCE

[@daveprice5911]

I can't get processed cheese here

[@kat2773]

+Emily Price me either because I live in that natural place

[@daveprice5911]

♥Sinthi&Kat i figured out that normal cheese works to, just leave it in for the whole cooking time

[@luhansflute5974]

I have literally watched this video ten times (and like all of your other videos🤗)because I LOVE gimbap and am planning on making it. This helps a lot, love you guys so much❤️❤️❤️

[@watamidoingguys]

its different for every family because every Korean family has their own recipe based on the family's taste most families mine included put a dollop of sesame oil and sesame seeds into the rice for a more rich taste. it taste really good! i recommend!

[@percabeth4evaeva642]

I actually eat kimbap and seaweed is yummy to me:)

[@anela3408]

that shinee reference. . i cant /dead

[@celenanana]

MARTINA'S EYE MAKEUP THOUGH... Are your lashes real or fake? If they're fake, where'd you get them from and what kind are they?

[@Gingerandcoco]

martina is stunny.. you guys are hilarious.. i'm egyptian, living in egypt.. and for some odd reason i'm hooked on your videos. hehe

[@TurtleMelonIsLonely]

The way Simon says "Oh God!" makes me laugh everytime XD

[@pausa831]

yeaaahh, so it still makes me want sushi

[@oodon3220]

Lol what the fuck are you talking about. I think you mean you want california rolls. Sushi is fish on top of sticky rice. Dont be such an ignorant bitch.

[@Nmmumaw]

+Sanic Got Rekt Sushi is anything with vinegared rice. Doesn't need to have seaweed or raw fish or anything. Chirashi zushi often just has shredded egg, sweet kintoki beans, sliced green beans, ikura or other non-fish toppings. It's still sushi. Go to Sushi-Ro and you can get gunkan maki with little swedish meatballs and mayo or tuna salad or eggplant or whatever. It's still sushi.

[@oodon3220]

Nathalie Mumaw now your just gonna go to all of my comments and spam some sushi facts?

[@pausa831]

Sanic Got Rekt o you seem mad lol calm your happy hipster ass down

[@ashleyramk]

that shinee reference tho.....

[@gro_skunk]

so its like sushi maki rolls except just regular steamed rice instead of vinegared rice?

[@vernons_lap_cat]

No, the taste and texture is completely different !

[@gro_skunk]

meme 솔 I don't believe you

[@gro_skunk]

meme 솔 it's exactly like Maki sushi except the rice isn't vinegared.

[@secretdiaryofafoodie]

A few other differences that add up to make kimbap taste differently overall to maki zushi, besides using plain rice instead of vinegared rice, are: •The rice is sometimes seasoned with sesame oil if not left plain. •The texture, thickness and taste of the Korean seaweed sheet is different to Japanese nori. •The outside of the roll is brushed with sesame oil, which imparts a distinct flavour, different to sushi. •They are eaten plain, without soy sauce and wasabi.

[@crabcakes7784]

I literally just came back from a Korean restaurant, I ate a ton of Shrimp Kimbap and other foods as well xD That was the best day of my life !

[@rylieroberson7898]

This helped so much in korean class( actually in school in america) and we had to make and write a report on kimbap. THank you so much

[@disarchitected]

God, is that a washing machine tucked under your cooking range? haha! Only in Korea.

[@tanyabui3550]

Japanese sushi xDD Sushi is already Japanese,Martina should've said Korean sushi lol

[@TraceyOwusu]

i was so gunna dial the number then she stopped. it was like 416-233- ahhhh

[@Cristalstar3]

You guys should do more cooking videos like this. I love this one and your humor makes it fun to learn xD

[@heygodareyouready]

It's washed to remove small impurities (sand, bad grains and such). Not so much for the "sterilization"-part of it. It's kind of like rinsing the spinach before blanching it :)

[@kanahble]

is that an oven-washing machine behind you??

[@md6449]

Will jasmine rice work just as well? It's all I have #vietprobs

[@xpinkHOLIC]

Jasmine rice is not sticky enough and will most likely make the kimbap fall apart :(

[@Agandbuildabearholly]

Yeah, jasmine rice isn't sticky enough and it will make the kimbap fall apart

[@BonnieChun]

it honestly probably doesn't matter. i have use many different types of rice to make kimbap before; though i havent used jasmine. because it is a non sticky rice, i would just recommend to reallyyyyyy tightly roll it up so it'll have a less chance to fall apart; also maybe add a little more rice than normal. also MAYBEE add a little more water than normal. when cooking it.. Add some sesame oil to the rice as well as salt; it's for flavor but maybe the oil will help somehow .. lol i'm just trying to think different ideas; it may or may not work

[@md6449]

Bonnie Chun thanks, I'll definitely try it! Any idea is better than none ☺

[@adamadamadam12]

That's true

[@Mizzanonymousx]

But but the rice wasnt washed Dx

[@VampyricDeth]

A lot of people don't wash their rice. Like I don't and I find that it actually gives it a bit of a nutty-er flavor. Plus washing rice is something that most people don't know about if they are not a chef or from Asia. It is something a lot of north-Americans don't know about I've found. So yeah you can wash the rice or you can not. It actually doesn't matter that much. Plus a lot of rice is already pre-washed then dried again. So the washing just removes rice dust. But hey- maybe that's just where I get my rice.

[@PreciousImobhio]

Loving the song Martina. Could be in the top 10 in the music charts.

[@HappinessAndLuck]

Japanese language and characters are derived from Baekje kingdom and Silla kingdom in korean peninsula. also japanese royal family is a descendant of Baekje kingom that is recorded in many historical books and japanese king announced that he is a descendant of Baekje kingdom in 2002.

[@Bryanccc3]

Is that a washing machine under the stove?

[@vee4642]

It is indeed. :D

[@sophieLPS120]

wait so you don't use sushi rice? i'm confused😂

[@MySweetieCupcakes]

Use sushi rice. I don't think normal rice will be sticky enough to form a "roll"

[@sophieLPS120]

+MySweetieCupcakes I used sushi rice but my friend told me that kimbap rice is different

[@MySweetieCupcakes]

Sophie Makogon what kind of rice?

[@windandmotocross]

i'm japanese. sushi has been started about 350 years back in japan. korean has been imported sushi recipe from japan about 80 years back. korean was arrenging recipe for themselves. we are going own ways.

[@lookapuddle720]

this isnt sushi. this is something completely different

[@lienlemusicstar]

Why radish is yellow... Maaaaaaangchi~!!!

[@coolcat3408]

Its pickled

[@paulcalb]

Yellow dye. I prefer pickled white radish without the fake dye.

[@xsasukex]

ooooh, Im definitely going to try this, Ive seen the recipe before and got scared but you guys make it doable! YEY

[@gingervintage8]

i love how you 2 are canadian, me to ! from ontario, i want to visit korea now !

[@pyroplaypark4050]

im korean and who puts cheese in kimbap wtf yo some of the things you put dont even belong

[@jeffdaman6969]

You can make it however you want.

[@auroraf5803]

wow cause you totally count for the entire Korean population

[@ManiacalQueen]

Pyroplay Park you really felt the need to complain twice on the same video in different comments? Everywhere and Everyone makes things different. You being Korean and saying that would be no different than me going to Korea and telling you no one puts seafood on Pizza...

[@cookadook]

I don't see the difference. Its SUSHI! You may be calling some seaweed sheets a different name, as they are Nori for Sushi, but they are still seaweed sheets. With Sushi, you have a variety of ingredients that can go on the inside, just like Kimbap. I don't see the difference. Nori, rice, various ingredients, roll it up with the mat and slice. SUSHI!!

[@shellyb8213]

Lee Gi hyun , I don't think Kimbap because I have one Korean restaurant in my area and u have 4 Sushi restaurant s. If I said to my friends, 'Want to go out for Kimbap?' They wouldn't know what that is. No need to name call or get nasty with. I was simply responding to how much Martina stressed they weren't the same thing.

[@cookadook]

Lee Gi hyun In fact, I went to the website for my local Korean restaurant. They didn't even have Kimbap on the menu and had a whole Sushi section. koreahousecincy.com

[@someoneyoumightknow2795]

Don't even question it ·It's not the same recipe ·You don't find the same things at all in it, I mean in the center ·It doesn't even comes from the same part of the world ·That's just rude for both cultures ·You sound like an closed minded idiot

[@shellyb8213]

South Korea and Japan are very close together. Right next to each other. So what are you talking about that they are from different parts of the world? I don't see how it is closed minded or idiotic of me to think they are similar. Its is not rude and you are taking this far to seriously. Its food. It is similar food. There's nothing wrong with me pointing out the similarly and finding humor in Martina comments about them being different.

[@shellyb8213]

Lee Gi hyun You are being ridiculous! Just preposterous! No one, besides you, is offended or uncomfortable with the simple idea of Kimbap and Sushi being similar. Which is exactly why Martina talked about it in the video! Again, I think you are taking this all a bit too seriously. Let's move on, shall we?

[@domochanlove]

Martina, if you move the cooked rice to a large glass bowl, and pour little bit of sesame oil and salt and stir it to cool off, it won't make the seaweed so soggy when you spread the rice on seaweed, not to mention it makes the rice taste more yummy :D

[@gravebutterfly]

This changed my lunches forever; for the better.

[@MjAwsomeSauceSkittle]

ahhh martina please do a tutorial for your hair in this c:! i love it!

[@eejm8888]

I'm korean and I ALWAYS wash the rice before cooking it. The rice is just as sticky, it gets all the germs and dirt/dust particles off of the rice, and it makes the rice better for your body.

[@auntiebon6077]

I just made kimbap the other day! It was delicious; thanks for the tips on how to make it!

[@punkgirl1244]

Omg! Martina I'm been trying to figure out the name of that movie for months so I could watch if again! Thank you!!!! I love spirited away! Yay!

[@TheMisterApple]

To cleanse and clear any unwanted debris, as well as washing away rice particles that may have resulted from friction during transportation, which is why you want to wash your rice until the water is not cloudy. This makes the cooked rice more fluffy. :)

[@EssRoxx]

"WANJ" may not have the same ring to it, but still excited for it

[@xonahtalayxo]

lmao I loved how Martina started playing with the seaweed and singing Juliette haha

[@FantasmaLua]

I love kimbap! It's one of the only Korean recipes I know how to make ^__^ still working on learning more

[@LordDigz12]

Martina is shuper shexy when she acts all demure. Especially since she's got the figure of like a 50s pinup girl. Totally matches the attitude, like some sort of Marilyn Monroe flashback or something. SIMON SO LUCKY

[@bradleyknight1998]

Love how there is a stove then under it there is a washer dryer combo

[@YukitsuVoSyl]

Idea!!! Simon and martina...could you make korean pizza and japanese pizza??

[@Ultimatecozzie]

I would love it if Simon and Martina did more of these "how to" recipe videos :)

[@genie195]

Your makeup looks especially amazing!

[@Kirk4520]

hahaha. This is the funniest video ever. Martina's facial expressions are priceless. I LOLed so hard at this. Good job Simon & Martina. I love you guys, now! xD

[@angry_athena]

I think "Juliette side down!" is my favorite part of this whole video!! xD haha I literally laughed for 5 minutes because of that!

[@tigerx22]

Both ur skin look so supple & smooth!

[@TheClaritee]

I love how much more comfortable they are in front of the camera compared to their older videos! SO FUNNY! :')

[@heatherwacker9119]

Looks delicious gonna make this today!

[@bonjourstacy24]

I had chamchi kimbap from Galleria last week! This video made me want it againnnn

[@stephanieluna9802]

I loved when they started singing Juliette and I could not stop laughing when Martina said "shut it SHINee!"

[@Akdcacac]

The mayonnaise you showed us is called GOSOHAN mayonnaise which means nutty and savory. There's no direct translation of the word in English so someone might have told you it just means delicious lol.

[@yugiohfan387]

Yeah. What BackpackCandy said. And also, when you're slicing the kimbap, make sure that you're not slicing the pieces too thin because it will easily fall out.

[@victorluong476]

@CrystalizedEyes it's probably Pre-washed rice. Because in Eyk's ramen vid they said using tap water isn't good. And using bottled water to wash your rice is a waste.

[@psychomidnight]

Martina, you worked at a pottery studio? That's awesome! I was big into pottery up until I moved to Korea, where I didn't have the money or resources for it anymore... *single tear*

[@Littledreamer0324]

I LOLED when I saw Simon add ranch to kimbab. genius. haha.

[@puchechai]

you eye make up looks fantastic martina! tutorial please!

[@Haruhikawachan]

I couldn't stop laughing while Martina was spreading out the rice with her fingers. XD

[@whoopfoop]

martina is so very adorable and i don't know why but i love the way she says "out" and "mayonnaise" :'>

[@itsyrc2]

I LOVE THAT SCENE IN SPIRITED AWAY, RADISH SPIRIT IS DA BEST!!! sorry, I got a little excited...

[@helengrece]

Okay, whenever I make any sort of rolled seaweed dish for the rest of my life, I'm calling the shiny side Juliette! Thanks Simon and Martina!
