Assemble the Kimbap:
- Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a flat surface.

Add the Vegetables:
- Arrange a small portion of each vegetable (carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, and spinach) horizontally across the center of the rice.
Roll it Up:

- Roll it tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
Slice and Serve:
- Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the Veg Kimbap into bite-sized pieces.
Drizzle with Sesame Oil:
