 Easy Tuna Cucumber Gimbap


Looking for a quick, refreshing meal you can make without turning on the stove?

This tuna cucumber gimbap is just what you need. Light, creamy, and crunchy — and there’s even a bonus version with perilla leaves and kimchi for extra flavor!

Ingredients

  • 4 sheets of seaweed (gim)
  • 2 bowls of cooked rice
  • 1 can of tuna
  • 1 cucumber

For tuna filling:

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp wasabi
  • 1 tsp sugar

For rice seasoning:

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp ground sesame seeds
  • Optional (Bonus version):
  • Perilla leaves
  • Aged kimchi (thinly sliced and squeezed dry)

How to Make It

Step 1: Prepare the tuna

Drain the tuna well. Mix with mayo, salt, pepper, wasabi, and sugar.



Step 2: Prepare the cucumber

Slice cucumber thinly (avoid the seedy center). No salting needed — fresh is best!


Step 3: Season the rice

Mix warm rice with salt, sesame oil, and ground sesame seeds.



Step 4: Roll the gimbap

Place a sheet of seaweed (rough side up). Spread a thin layer of rice, leaving space at the top. Place half a sheet of seaweed on the rice (prevents tearing). Add cucumber and tuna mixture. Roll gently — don’t press too hard!



Step 5: Bonus version

For a deeper Korean flavor, add perilla leaves and aged kimchi along with cucumber and tuna. Roll as above.


Step 6: Finishing touches

Brush the rolls lightly with sesame oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Slice with an oiled knife. 


That’s it! You’ll get fluffy rice, creamy tuna, and crisp cucumber — a perfect no-cook meal for warm days. Hope you give it a try this summer!
