Kimbap--Convenience Store Version











Kimbap (gimbap) is a very common, cheap food in Korea. It typically consists of cooked, cooled rice wrapped around some type of "filler": veggies, meat, etc. You can get it in a rolled form from a restaurant or also in a triangular-shaped form from a convenience store.

The store version usually costs about $.70 and is cleverly packaged to keep the rice and filler moist yet, at the same time, the outer seaweed wrap dry. So, if unwrapped correctly, you have a nice salty, green outside and a soft, chewy inside.

The pics show a package of tuna kimbap (tuna mayonaisse).

It's good and is quick, cheap, and on the healthy side of "fast" food.
