Why Kimbap deserves more attention

Kimbap rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The deeply umami complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using sesame oil correctly takes real skill.

the communal banchan side dishes are as important as the main. I encountered it first in a pojangmacha street tent and that context helped me understand it properly. barley tea is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Kimbap is the dish to start with.
