Get rolling with kimbap

Although the popular Korean rice roll kimbap resembles sushi in appearance, there are no other similarities. Spruce Eats claims that sushi rice gets a clean tang from vinegar dressing while kimbap rice is treated with the toasted nuttiness of sesame oil. Look for different kinds of kimchi in place of soy sauce or wasabi. The sauces and supplementary ingredients are also varied.

The fillings are another important distinction. Kimbap often uses cooked components rather than raw ones, and you can frequently get or prepare buns with extras like ham, cheese, eggs, radishes, and even Spam. Favorites from Korean barbecue, including beef bulgogi, are another scrumptious way to use up leftovers. To finish off the meal, don't forget the nori. While freshly made rice is preferred, leftovers can also be used. Follow Foodie Baker's suggestion and pan-fried your kimbap after dipping the roll in an egg wash to help soften those grains.
