kimbap

Seaweed rice cylinder

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

Common fillings include pickled vegetables, egg, and meat or fish.

The dish resembles Japanese sushi rolls but typically uses sesame oil rather than vinegar to season the rice: We picked up kimbap from the Korean grocery for lunch.
