Folded Kimbap, 3 ways
Folded kimbap pays homage to the traditional kimbap, only in sandwich form. Instead of rolling the kimbap ingredients, the sheet of nori is cut halfway through up the middle. This will allow the kimbap to be folded into 4 sections. What’s nice about the folded kimbap is that there are limitless combinations you can make. Kimbap sesame oil rice is always placed on the bottom left corner of the nori. Then the protein above it. The right sides are for vegetables and other ingredients. Simply fold the rice side up on the protein, then fold over to the right, then bottom right side folded up.
