Kimbap is a Korean version of Futomaki or Norimaki, a kind of sushi roll with a variety of fillings such as vegetables and cooked meat or seafood wrapped in roasted Nori seaweed. It is much thicker than single-ingredient rolls like Tuna rolls or cucumber rolls, and the fillings for Kimbap are cooked and flavored individually. Kimbap is becoming increasingly popular in Japan in recent years, sold at convenience stores and even Kimbap specialty stores in large Japanese cities. The more kinds of fillings used, the more work it takes to make, but it’s worthwhile to have a variety of vegetables and meat to enjoy interesting harmony of different flavors.
