    Deconstructed Tuna Kimbap Bowl. An easy, flavourful Korean rice bowl packed with healthy proteins and vegetables. Perfect for dinner or lunch.

    This is one my of FAVOURITE ways to have a kimbap without the complication of rolling it and dealing with a sticky rice situation!

    I have this Korean kimbap bowl at least ONCE a week because I am so in love with it! It comes together so quickly and you also don't have to add in all the veggies or protein if you prefer to keep it simple!

    Most times, I will omit the egg and spinach when time is of the essence! I find this healthy bowl really keeps me on track with regards to my gut and hormone health thanks to the kimchi and tuna.

    How I came up with this recipe

    I came up with this kimbap rice bowl when I was watching a Korean drama and I saw this character eat rice, seasoned seaweed with canned tuna.

    And I thought, "Wow that would be a delicious combination" and so I added some kimchi, sesame seeds and seasoned my rice with sesame oil and this recipe was born!

    For this kimbap bowl recipe

    You will need the following ingredients for two bowls:

    Simple bowl:
    2 - 2.5 cups of cooked Korean short grain rice
    ⅔ cup kimchi
    150 grams canned tuna in oil
    2 tablespoon Japanese mayonnaise
    10 pieces seasoned seaweed

    Other ingredients to upgrade your bowl:
    3 teaspoon sesame oil
    1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
    2 soft boiled eggs
    4 handfuls spinach

    Where can I find some of these ingredients?

    You can purchase the following at most Asian or Korean grocers:

    • Kimchi - refrigerated section
    • Canned Tuna in Oil - canned section
    • Japanese Mayo by brand Kewpie - sauce section
    • Seasoned Seaweed - dried section
    Seasoned seaweed
    Japanese Mayo

      This was a great idea- an easy, clean lunch that's easy to adapt to what you have on hand. I sautéed the spinach instead of boiling, since I prefer it that way, but used sesame seed oil to stick with the flavors suggested. Will definitely be coming back to this one.
