Скачать или смотреть Easy Kimchi Udon + Wasabi Mayo Imitation Crab & Avocado Roll 😋

Just one of those random Thursday nights where I threw together whatever I found in the fridge 🥢✨

I had some old kimchi and frozen udon, so I made a quick broth with bonito flakes — super simple but so comforting and flavorful. Then I spotted some imitation crab and avocado and decided to roll them up with a bit of wasabi mayo 🦀🥑 Not the prettiest rolls, but that combo always hits the spot!

Sometimes the most random combos turn out surprisingly good, even if it’s last-minute. It’s not about perfection, just about what tastes good and feels right in the moment.

Would you try this combo?😋🤭

🍜Kimchi Udon

2 cups water
A handful katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
1 cup kimchi + a few spoonfuls kimchi juice
1 frozen udon noodles
2 fish cake skewers (or just fish cake)
1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
½ tbsp soup soy sauce
½ tbsp fish sauce
½ tbsp sugar (optional — to balance sour kimchi)
Chopped green onion, for garnish

1. Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add bonito flakes and simmer a few minutes for quick broth. Strain if desired.
Note: You can also use kelp, anchovy packets, or even broth tablets — whatever you have!
2. Add kimchi and its juice. Simmer about 5 minutes until softened a bit.
3. Add udon noodles and fish cakes.
4. Season with gochugaru, soup soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar.
Note : I added sugar because my kimchi was extra sour — adjust based on yours.
5. Simmer until noodles are cooked.
6. Garnish with green onions.

🥑Imitation Crab & Avocado Roll (2 Rolls)

For rice:
1½ cups cooked rice
1 tbsp rice vinegar
½ tbsp sugar
Pinch of salt

For filling:
1 pack imitation crab
5 tbsp mayo
½ tbsp wasabi (optional but so good)
½ tbsp sugar
½ ripe avocado, sliced

Other:
2 sheets kimbap gim (seaweed), trimmed to ¾ size
Black & regular sesame seeds

1. Season rice with vinegar, sugar, and salt.
2. Mix crab with mayo, wasabi, and sugar until creamy.
3. Lay seaweed rough side up, spread rice evenly, then sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice.
4. Flip the sheet so rice faces down.
5. Add crab mix + avocado and roll tightly.
6. Wrap in plastic wrap before slicing — the rice on the outside gets sticky. Use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts.
