Ever heard of Kimbap, also known as Korean rice rolls? This dish is familiar to many. Today, Mytour will guide you on making a colorful Kimbap with pea flower that's not only delicious but also visually appealing right in your own kitchen.
Ingredients:
- Sticky rice 50 grams
- Pea flowers 1 gram
- Chicken breast 1 piece
- Carrot 1
- Chicken egg 1
- Cucumber 1
- Seaweed 5 pieces
Instructions:
- Cooking rice: Soak the pea flowers in boiling water for about 4 - 5 minutes to extract color. Alternatively, you can directly boil the flowers in water for 3 - 5 minutes until you achieve the desired color. Rinse the rice thoroughly and cook it with the pea flower-infused water.
- Prepare chicken breast: Wash the chicken breast with diluted saltwater, then rinse with clean water and drain well. Marinate the chicken breast with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Ensure the seasoning is evenly spread on both sides of the meat for better flavor absorption.
- Prepare other ingredients: Peel and julienne the carrot. Wash the cucumber and cut it into long strips. Crack and beat a chicken egg, then pour it onto a heated pan with a little cooking oil. Once cooked, cut it into long strips for easier rolling.
- Make the filling: Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan. Add the chicken breast and cook until firm and evenly browned on both sides, then cut it into strips. Continue using the same pan to stir-fry the carrot for about 3 - 4 minutes, then transfer it to a separate plate.
- Assemble the Kimbap: Spread a thin layer of rice onto each seaweed sheet. Arrange the carrot, cucumber, egg, and chicken strips on top of the rice. Roll tightly and firmly to prevent the filling from spilling out. Use a sharp knife coated with a little cooking oil to cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces.

Ingredients:
- 300 grams of wheat flour
- 5 grams of instant yeast
- 4 grams of salt
- 45 grams of sugar
- 20 dried pea flowers
- 50 ml of unsweetened or sweetened milk
- 20 grams of sugar
- 6 grams of cornstarch
- 120 ml of fresh milk
- 50 grams of cream cheese
- 65 grams of unsalted butter
- 2 chicken eggs (yolks)
Instructions:
- Prepare pea flower water: Place about 20 pea flowers in a cup and add about 50ml of hot water, let it soak for about 20 minutes, then strain to collect the colored water. Add 50ml of fresh milk to the flower water and mix well.
- Mix the dough: Put 300 grams of wheat flour into a mixing bowl, then add salt, sugar, and instant yeast to the flour. Be sure to keep salt and yeast away from each other as direct contact may kill the yeast. Mix the ingredients well. Crack an egg into the milk mixed with pea flower water and beat well, then slowly add it to the flour mixture and mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- Knead the dough and let it rise: Place the colored dough on a clean surface and fold it in half, then use the heel of your hand to fold and push the dough away (folding and stretching), then rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat the process. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky, then add 45 grams of room temperature butter and fold and knead the dough until it becomes soft, elastic, smooth, and non-sticky. Cut the dough into small pieces and flatten them, then let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Make cheese filling: Beat the egg yolks with 20 grams of sugar until the yolks turn pale yellow. Add 6 grams of cornstarch and mix well to combine. Place a pan on the stove and pour in 120ml of fresh milk, stirring until the milk is warm, then turn off the heat. Slowly add the warm milk to the egg mixture. When the egg and milk mixture is combined, heat it in the pan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. When the mixture thickens, turn off the heat and add 50 grams of cream cheese and 10 grams of unsalted butter, mix well until the ingredients are blended to complete the sauce.
- Divide and shape the dough: After the dough has risen, press it to release air bubbles, then divide the dough into portions of about 40 grams each. Shape each portion into a round ball. After shaping all the dough, let it rest for another 5 minutes before shaping.
- Shape the baguettes: Flatten and roll out each portion of dough (no need to roll it thin), add the prepared cheese filling, fold, and tightly seal the filling inside. Repeat the process until all dough and filling are used up. Let the baguettes rest for 5 minutes before frying.
- Fry the baguettes: Place the baguettes in a pan over low heat, cover and cook for about 7 - 8 minutes, then uncover and flip the baguettes, continue cooking for another 7 - 8 minutes.
