Spread a thin layer of rice evenly over the seaweed, leaving a border at the top.

Arrange cucumber, carrots, pickled radish, egg strips, and any other fillings in a line across the rice.

Carefully roll the bamboo mat away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll.

Seal the edge of the seaweed with a little water.

Repeat with remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Slice the rolled gimbap into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.

Serve with soy sauce or other dipping sauces if desired.
