Have always been into Korean cuisine and recently saw a post on the Facebook group "Home-cooked Delights 家常便饭" page that mentioned replacing rice with potato in the making of Korean Gimbap. This is just what I need since I don't have short grain rice. Bought things like cucumber, carrot, potato and seaweed over the weekend for today's attempt. Found my sushi mat hidden away in the corner of my cupboard. Then another idea popped into my head and that is to cook some rice and add to the mashed potato.
Got down to work early in the morning, cutting the cucumber and carrot into strips. Cut and boiled the potatoes, cooked some rice, sliced the leftover smoked duck breast and fried an egg to make egg strips. Then mashed the potatoes, added the cooked rice, seasoned them with some grated cheese and sesame oil. Once all the ingredients were done, it was down to do the rolling. Think I need more practice on that.
It was not too bad for a first attempt but there is always room for improvements. Think I will need to season the potato/rice mixture a bit more the next time.
