gimbap

Seaweed rice cylinder

Gimbap is a Korean dish of rice and fillings rolled in dried seaweed and sliced into bite-sized rounds.

The fillings typically include vegetables, egg, and meat or fish.

Similar in appearance to Japanese sushi rolls but seasoned with sesame oil rather than vinegar: We picked up gimbap from the convenience store for lunch.
