Kimbap

What is it?

An 8.11-ounce frozen tray of pre-sliced Korean rice rolls, these pieces come wrapped in seaweed with sesame-seasoned rice around braised tofu, sautéed greens, root vegetables, and pickles. Made in Korea and sold by Trader Joe’s, it’s a vegetarian take on kimbap, with the filling arranged in tidy layers so each round shows a different cross-section. Unlike vinegar-seasoned sushi rice, the rice here leans savory from sesame oil. The rolls can be eaten cold or warmed, and the texture mix runs from soft tofu to firmer vegetables and crisp pickles.
