Kimbap (김밥)
is a popular on-the-go Korean dish made from steamed white rice (bap) and various other ingredients, rolled in gim (sheets of dried laver seaweed) and served in bite-size slices. Similar to Japanese makizushi - but whereas the essence of Japanese sushi is vinegared rice, gimbap does not use rice vinegar but rather sesame oil. The fillings are individually seasoned and cooked, yielding an interesting combination of textures and flavors. Everything is well seasoned, so gimbap is not served with sauce.
This was a very delicious snack. Could not eat this huge portion, and took some leftovers home!
