Keto Kimbap with Ground Chicken & Fresh Veggies


Ingredients (makes 2 rolls):

  • ½ lb ground chicken

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)

  • 1 tsp sesame oil (plus 1 tsp neutral oil for cooking)

  • ½ tsp garlic, minced

  • ½ tsp ginger, grated

  • 1 tsp sweetener (erythritol/monkfruit or omit)

  • 2 sheets roasted seaweed (nori)

  • 2 eggs, beaten, made into thin omelets (liners)

  • 1 small carrot, grated (then either pan-fried 2–3 min OR salted + squeezed dry)

  • ½ cucumber, cut into thin sticks (pat dry)

  • 2–3 radishes, cut into thin sticks

  • ½ small zucchini, cut into thin sticks (pat dry or lightly sautéed if watery)

  • Sesame oil for brushing

  • Sesame seeds for garnish


Step 1: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tsp neutral oil in a skillet.

  2. Brown chicken, add garlic + ginger midway.

  3. Stir in soy, sesame oil, sweetener, pepper.

  4. Cook until liquid is absorbed and chicken is shiny. Cool slightly.


Step 2: Prep the Veggies

  • Carrot → either quick-sauté in a dry pan until just soft OR sprinkle with salt, wait 5 min, squeeze out excess liquid.

  • Cucumber, zucchini, radish → cut into thin sticks, pat dry (or sauté zucchini lightly if it’s very watery).


Step 3: Make the Omelet Liners

  • Beat 2 eggs with a pinch of salt + drop of sesame oil.

  • Cook into 2 thin omelets (like crepes).

  • Cool slightly, then lay each omelet directly on a sheet of nori.


Step 4: Assemble

  1. On the omelet-covered nori, spread a strip of ground chicken across the bottom third.

  2. Add a small line of carrot, cucumber, radish, and zucchini on top.

  3. Roll tightly with gentle pressure (the omelet + nori will hold everything).

  4. Brush outside lightly with sesame oil.


Step 5: Slice & Serve

  • Use a sharp, lightly oiled knife to cut into 8–10 bite-sized pieces.

  • Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.


👉 This will give you a colorful, sturdy, protein-packed roll with crunch from radish/cucumber, sweetness from carrot, and savory chicken + egg as the core.
