Rice and Seaweed Nation

나라 (Kim Bap Nara)






Also known as rice and seaweed nation, also known as dinner.  Kim bap is amazing, it's essentially sushi, only Korean style, which means it doesn't even resemble sushi american style. It it rice rolled in seaweed stuffed with an infinite number of yummy goodies. Tonight I ordered Chamchi Kim Bap (tuna sushi) and Yo Cha Kim Bap (vegetable sushi). Now my chamchi kim bap is delicious, full of canned tuna, cucumbers, carrots, ham, and fermented radish. My "vegetable" kim bap is full of onions, carrots, cucmbers, egg, something brown (could be anything really), mayonnaise, and ham. Yes, like most countries i've encountered outside of the US, vegetarian means, meat, but not beef.  I love it! How can any of this be bad for you? You have something fermented- radish, something raw-onion, some meat- protein, seaweed for your skin and nails, and rice as a filler! A point of interest, Koreans will throw anything into anything, for example: ham and tuna, plus I found soybeans in my crustacean stew the other day for god's sake! So there you have it, i'm currently basking in the after-korean-lesson glow and devouring dericious kim bap!


Anyeong!
