Gimmari (Fried Seaweed Roll)
Gimmari boasts a harmonious blend of savory umami from the seasoned glass noodles, crispiness from the fried Nori sheets, and a hint of earthiness, creating a delectable snack with layers of flavor and texture.
- 50 gr korean glass noodles
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp mushroom bouillon
- A pinch of pepper
- 5 Nori sheets
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup rice flour
- A pinch of salt
- Water
- Oil (for frying)
Begin by boiling glass noodle until soft and tender. Once softened, drain the noodles and chop them into smaller, manageable pieces.
In a bowl, season the noodles with soy sauce, mushroom bouillon, and a pinch of pepper. Mix well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the flavorsome seasoning.
Take each Nori sheet, place a portion of seasoned glass noodles onto one end of the Nori strip. Carefully roll the Nori sheet, enclosing the noodles tightly to form a compact roll.
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water to the flour mixture, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter consistency.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat.
Dip each Nori-wrapped noodle roll into the prepared batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the coated rolls into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the Gimmari rolls until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per batch. Once cooked to perfection, remove the Gimmari from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
Your homemade Gimmari is now ready to be devoured! Serve the crispy rolls hot alongside your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as a standalone snack.
