Gim-bop
Korean Style Sushi Roll김밥
Gimbop is considered one of the most popular and
nutritious Korean meal. It consists of rice and strips of vegetables,
egg, and meat, rolled in laver (dried seaweed) and then sliced. This is
a popular snack or lunch that can be made with infinite variety of
ingredients using different kinds of meat and/or vegetables. Popular
ones include bulgogi, spinach, pickled radish, and eggs.

maki or a sushi roll.
However, there are a few differences between the
Japanese sushi roll and the Korean-style gimbop. The main difference is
that Japanese sushi rolls are rather minimal in ingredients. Sushi
rolls usually consists of just tuna or salmon within the roll whereas
gimbop contains a variety of ingredients as mentioned earlier. Also,
while the Japanese use raw fish (sashimi)
in their sushi rolls, Korean gimbop do not contain any raw fish.
Lastly, Japanese sushi is often dipped in wasabi while gimbop usually
has sesame oil.
