Tuna salad and kimbap

Overview

Some people also call it sushi, which is actually true. Kimbap is a type of sushi. The reason why it is common in Korean food is because the food on the Korean Peninsula is influenced by Japanese eating habits. Compared with Japanese sushi that has a variety of styles, exquisite ingredients, and meticulous preparations, kimbap is not only easy to learn and make, but also does not require high-end ingredients. The combination is casual. Whether it is made or eaten, it looks very homely, civilian, and easy to accept.
