Gimbap - Korean Rice Rolls

Main
Gimbap, or Kimbap, if broken down, translates to 'gim' (a sheet of dried seaweed) and 'bap' (rice). Gimbap is a Korean type of rice roll - a very packable dish often enjoyed during picnics or outdoor events, though it’s also a popular lunch option. You can fill gimbap with anything you like: try cooked mushrooms, eggplant, or zucchini; swap in different pickled vegetables; or replace the tofu with your favourite plant-based meat alternatives from the supermarket.

I'm very happy to have found this recipe, it's perfect for summer when you want minimal use of the stove.

Heaven in a roll! It’s so much easier than expected and now this is a staple in my house. Absolutely love this recipe

I used this as a guide and my filling was the tofu, avocado and thinly sliced fresh greens and it was soo good!

This recipe looked so good that I wanted to try! So I spent an eternity prepping every component, eventually rolled it, and..... Turns out I don't like nori sheets!
I felt frustrated, but got comforted because this recipe works great as a bowl too! And it tastes great 😊

Oh no! We totally get how frustrating that can be, especially after all that effort, Margaux! We're glad you found a way to enjoy the recipe as a bowl instead - sometimes a little pivot can make all the difference 🫶

This was delicious! If you have the chance to make it, you should :)

This recipe is perfect! I’ve been making it every week for picnic dates. My boyfriend really enjoys them and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t like vegetables. Highly recommend!

Picnic dates sound so lovely! Glad the recipe is being enjoyed, Angelica 🤗
