I’m excited to share a favorite Korean childhood snack of mine - kimbap!
Some people might think kimbap is a type of sushi but they’re actually different. They may look similar but they originate from different countries. The way the rice is prepared is also different - kimbap rice is mixed with sesame oil and a touch of white sugar whereas sushi rice is prepared with rice vinegar. Lastly, the fillings in kimbap are usually cooked instead of raw.
Kimbap can be filled with yummy marinated beef, imitation crab, egg, yellow radish, and lots of other veggies - but for our special friend, we will be using “cooked spam, yellow radish, and some spinach".
I have fond memories of munching on kimbap during camping trips or at any sort of potluck gathering. They're definitely a staple for long road trips too!
