Popular Kimbap in Korea

Tuna Kimbap

The main ingredient in Tuna Kimbap (참치김밥) is tuna mixed with mayonnaise. This kimbap is typically rolled with fragrant perilla leaves (깻잎), allowing the savory, rich mayo-tuna filling to blend perfectly with the various other ingredients. Due to its rich flavor and high satiety, Tuna Kimbap has long been established as a classic and beloved representative menu item of kimbap.

Cheese Kimbap

This Kimbap is made by adding cheddar or cream cheese inside the basic kimbap roll. Its key features are the smooth texture and savory-yet-nutty flavor characteristic of cheese. When mozzarella cheese is used, the heat from the warm rice melts the cheese, adding a delightful, stretchy texture that makes it even more appetizing.

Mayak Kimbap

Mayak Kimbap is a mini, bite-sized kimbap roll, nicknamed 'Mayak' (drug/narcotic) due to its addictive flavor. The key is dipping it into a special sauce made of soy sauce, mustard, and vinegar! Despite its simple ingredients, its strong, savory flavor makes it a representative Korean street food enjoyed by people of all ages. 🥢

Quito Kimbap

This is a type of kimbap made with thinly shredded egg omelet (계란지단) instead of rice. It gained popularity as low-carbohydrate diets, which replace carbs with high-protein ingredients, became trendy. With every bite, the soft egg omelet melts in your mouth, spreading a rich, savory egg aroma.
