Difference Between Kimbap and Sushi
Kimbap is one of Korea’s representative foods. In the past, kimbap was often called ‘Korean sushi’.
However, kimbap and sushi are completely different foods.
Kimbap can be eaten on the go, but sushi is a food that must be placed on a plate and eaten sitting down.
Kimbap is a food made by putting rice and various vegetables in seaweed, rolling it up, and cutting it into bite-size pieces.
Unlike kimbap, sushi is eaten by cutting live fish rather than cooking it.
So kimbap and sushi are completely different foods.
Kimbap Seaweed
The seaweed that covers kimbap is seaweed.
Seaweed is a seaweed that not only tastes good but is also rich in minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber.
Seaweed is usually grown in Korea, China, and Japan.
However, Korean seaweed is not only produced in large quantities, but also produces the most delicious seaweed in the world.
Types of Kimbap
A. Classic Kimbap
Please give me kimbap in Korea. If you order like this, you will get regular kimbap.
Regular kimbap contains a variety of ingredients.
Spread the rice evenly on top of the seaweed, then fill it with ingredients such as carrots, burdock, pickled radish, cucumber, eggs, ham, and spinach and roll it into a round shape.
To complete the roll, spread sesame oil on top of the rolled kimbap and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
The rice used to make kimbap is mixed with sesame oil and soy sauce.
It’s savory and sweet, but if you look at the ingredients in it, it’s really healthy food.
B. Kimchi Tuna Kimbap
Compared to regular kimbap, kimchi tuna kimbap is also a popular food.
Fry the kimchi in a frying pan first, then add the tuna and fry once more.
Stir-fried kimchi and tuna are delicious side dishes for rice.
The method of making kimbap is the same, but the ingredients are slightly different.
First, put unseasoned regular rice on top of the seaweed and spread it evenly.
Add pickled radish, stir-fried kimchi tuna, spinach, and egg on top of the rice and roll into a round shape.
At the end, spread sesame oil on the rolled kimbap and sprinkle sesame seeds to complete it.
Stir-frying kimchi changes its taste. When the salty and savory taste of tuna is added to stir-fried kimchi, you can think of it as a flavor booster.
C. Tuna Kimbap
To make tuna kimbap, canned tuna is first fried in a frying pan.
This is kimbap made with stir-fried tuna, mayonnaise, pickled radish, Perilla leaves, eggs, and spinach.
Tuna is first fried in a frying pan to remove moisture before use.
When the savory and salty taste of tuna, the savory taste of mayonnaise, the sweet and salty taste of pickled radish, the savory taste of Perilla leaves, and the savory and healthy taste of spinach are added, it turns into a fantastic taste.
Kimchi tuna kimbap and regular tuna kimbap have different tastes.
Try it at home too.
It’s not difficult.
D. Bulgogi Kimbap
Bulgogi Kimbap is usually eaten by people who like meat.
Stores that specialize in selling only kimbap cook the bulgogi that goes into bulgogi kimbap over charcoal and then use that meat as an ingredient.
If you cook the seasoning soaked in bulgogi over charcoal, the taste will be doubled.
Usually, bulgogi kimbap uses only 4 ingredients.
It is sold by rolling it into a round shape with bulgogi, spinach, and Perilla leaves.
Add bulgogi with a fiery and sweet taste, spinach with a savory and healthy taste, carrots that are good for the eyes, and savory Perilla leaves, roll it into a round shape and eat it.
All of the flavors of kimbap are unique, so I recommend trying them all.
E. Frozen Kimbap [Trend Kimbap]

How to Make Kimbap Ingredients
Spinach
Boil spinach in boiling water for about 30 seconds and drain.
Put the spinach in a bowl and let it cool.
Add sesame oil, sesame seeds, ground garlic, soy sauce, and salt and mix well.
A spinach salad with a nutty and healthy taste is completed.
Egg
Place 2 eggs in a bowl and beat.
Add oil to a square frying pan and sprinkle with egg liquid.
Do not add all of the egg liquid, but add only 1/3 and cook.
When it is cooked properly, fold the egg in half.
Sprinkle egg liquid immediately behind the folded eggs.
Repeat to shape the egg into a square shape.
You can use an egg made into a rectangular shape and cut lengthwise.
Cooked carrots
Cut the carrots lengthwise into long, thin pieces.
Add water to a pot and boil.
Cook in boiling water for 3 minutes.
Just take out the ripe carrots and use them.
Cucumber
Just cut the cucumber into long and thin pieces. end!
Stir-Fried Tuna
Just put the tuna in a frying pan and fry until all the moisture evaporates. end!
Ham
Ham for kimbap is marked so that it can be cut vertically. Just cut the ham lengthwise and fry it in a frying pan.
Stir-Fried Kimchi Tuna
Add olive oil to the frying pan.
Add kimchi to a heated frying pan and fry.
When using kimchi, squeeze the kimchi broth by hand.
If a lot of kimchi broth is added while the frying pan is hot, the oil will splatter, so be careful.
It is more convenient to cut the kimchi with scissors on the frying pan.
Stir-fry the kimchi moderately, then add the tuna and fry once more.
Stir-fry the kimchi until it is cooked, then cool it before use.
Pickled Radish, Burdock, Perilla Leaves
It is more convenient to buy pickled radish, burdock, and Perilla leaves at the supermarket.
It takes a long time to make pickled radish and burdock.
The same goes for Perilla leaves.
It is somewhat difficult to grow Perilla leaves to make kimbap.
We also recommend using Perilla leaves purchased from a supermarket.
I will post separately how to make pickled radish and how to make burdock.

Vegan kimbap becomes vegan kimbap if you remove the meat from the kimbap.
