Fried kimbap

Kimbap translates to seaweed (“kim”) rice (“bap”), and it is decidedly not “Korean sushi,” as some may describe it. Yes, it’s technically rice wrapped in seaweed with fillings, but the comparison stops there. Kimbap’s ingredients are distinct and particular to the dish: marinated vegetables, fried egg, ground meat and fish cake, to name a few. My friend’s mom says the ingredients should represent the color spectrum – a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.

Fried kimbap, yum yum!

Recently I tried Cheese Kimbap for the first time, and it is very simple to make at home. All you need to do is make kimchi fried rice, spread it on seaweed, add cheese, roll it into a kimbap, then microwave it until the cheese melts. If you are fast, you can have it ready in 30 minutes.
