Yubu Kimbap (유부 김밥) is a Korean-style inari roll filled with deep fried beans and other edible vegetables. It is tasty, delicious and has a good chewing texture
One thing I remember about living in Korea is simple. You can get a lot of food delivered to you right at your door very easily without having to pay extra.
If the item you want is not delivered, just walk out of your house and ‘walk’ for 10 minutes (sometimes less) you can get what you want most of the time.
Kimbap (Korean sushi tracks or Korean rice rolls) is one of the things that you can easily download if you order in Korea.
However, the story is very different here in Australia. If I want a kimbap, I have to drive to a nearby Korean restaurant for about 30 minutes (I feel lucky to get to this part).
Subsequently, they sell only one or two varieties of kimbap, which have a general taste for a higher price.
What is a Korean style Inari Roll (YUBU KIMBAP)
I really wanted an unusual kimbap, not just a medium-sized kimbap with crab sticks or minced pork (ham). Then one thing led to the other, I decided to use Yubu (유부, deep fried tote bags) in my kimbap.
Now, you may be wondering from where does the word Inari Roll come from?
Inari (abbreviated word for Inari age) is a Japanese word meaning tofu curd from fried beans. It is a popular cooking ingredient in Japanese and Korean cuisine. Maybe you have heard of inarizushi (inari sushi)?
However, you can make sushi rolls / kimbap for that amount too. Inari Roll / Yubu Kimbap is one of my favorite types of kimbap!
In Korea, you can buy it in certain kimbap stores. Although common, it is not as popular as tuna kimbap, beef or cheese kimbap. (I do not know why!)
In my opinion, the Inari Roll / Yubu Kimbap is one of the best and most expensive types of kimbap you can find there.
So making an inari roll / yubu kimbap in my home meant a lot. (I absolutely loved it!)
If you like Korean kimbap often, you will love this one too. It’s not like the middle kimbap you can find in a restaurant! Give it a try!

Mega Filling Inari Roll (Yubu Kimbap) – I planned to make 10 rolls at first but the rice was not enough for only 7 rolls. Lots of fillings in each volume .. it was great though!

Jumbo Inari Roll (Yubu Kimbap). Very good!

In a large saucepan, boil the water. When the water starts to boil, add the yubu to the pot and push it down with a fork several times to soak it in water. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Drain the water; Soak the yubu in cold running water for a while.
Drain the water from the Yubu (I wore plastic gloves when it was too hot and a little oily). Then cut them into small pieces.
Heat a pan / wok with oil on high heat. Once heated, reduce heat to medium to low and add yubu and spices as listed. Mix well so that the spices are evenly distributed.
Turn off the heat and place the yubu in a bowl / plate.
Spinach
Boil water in a pot. Add salt (1/4 tsp as calculated) and cook the spinach for 1 minute.
Remove the spinach and cool with cold running water. Squeeze it slowly but enough to drain the water.
Put the spinach in a bowl. Add the sesame oil as calculated and mix slowly with your hands.
Eggs
Beat eggs in a bowl. Boil it in the pan. When both sides are ripe, take it out and cut it into strands about the size of a sixth.
Carrots
Cut carrots into long thin sticks. (Julienned).
Wrapping (Ingredient arrangement of ingredients marked with a number in the image below)
Put all the ingredients on the table.
Place a sheet of seaweed on a bamboo mat and lightly spread the rice on the seaweed sheet. (Cover only 80-90% page)
Start putting the prepared ingredients. (Order: Perilla leaves, eggs, spinach, yubu, carrots, radish pickle)
When all the ingredients are set, grab the bottom end of the seaweed sheet to cover the ingredients. Once you have covered them, then wrap the seaweed on top. (Attach water or place slices of rice on the edge of a seaweed leaf, if it does not stick)
Roll with a bamboo mat and give it a solid consistency.
Repeat this process for all the other ingredients.
When you have finished wrapping them, add the sesame oil to the rolls.
Cut kimbap into bite pieces and serve on a plate. Enjoy!
As I mentioned earlier, the filling ingredients (excluding rice) are prepared in 10 rolls. So try to distribute them evenly between 7 volumes. This will give Kimbap a “generous filling”. This is awesome!
Fried tofu bags look like this, if you do not know what they look like. (I could not find a Korean, so I bought a Japanese one instead).
