Gimbap is also known as Kimbap, they are Korean dried seaweed rice rolls. Gim translates to “seaweed” and bap translates to “rice”. They are similar to Japanese sushi rolls, however the rice is seasoned with sesame oil instead of vinegar, and the fillings are also different. The Korean versions use cooked and preserved foods such as tuna, kimchi, bulgogi, ham and cheese.

Many think that kimbap came about as a result of the Japanese occupation of Korea in the early 20th century, however, seaweed sheets were produced in the Gyeonsang and Jeolla provinces from the 15th century, and citizens were wrapping cooked rice in seaweed since the Joseon era.
