If you haven’t heard of the tortilla hack that went viral on Tiktok, you’re missing out. Instead of rolling the flatbread, it’s folded by quarters to get equal amounts of filling with each bite. The same concept is applied to the popular Korean dish called Kimbap (or Gimbap) and is game-changing for anyone who always has trouble making perfect rolls.
Kimbap is basically Korean sushi. They are rice rolls wrapped in sushi and filled with a variety of items. What sets the two apart is the Japanese version uses sushi rice that’s seasoned with vinegar, whereas the kimbap is seasoned with sesame oil to give a sweeter flavor.
First, you need to get all your ingredients ready. Aside from the rice and seaweed sheet (gim), common fillings people include are SPAM, scrambled egg, cheese, and kimchi. But feel free to substitute with whatever leftover items you have or need to use up.
Author of Korean Bapsang, a Korean-American mom, has great tips for those who want to try this dish.
No more struggling with rolling a kimbap with this food hack. Experiment with other ingredients such as sliced cucumbers, carrots, canned tuna, or even tofu to make it vegan.
