Eat Kimbap – Not Sushi

…

Again – it’s all over the news … Salmonella from sushi !!!

Like in this New York Daily News article. Another outbreak of salmonella from people eating sushi.

There’s a great alternative to sushi – and it goes way back further. KIMBAP!

Kimbap is a Korean roll that uses …

… COOKED ingredients.

KIM = Kelp … BAP = cooked rice

There’s a lot of varieties, as you can put anything you want into it. Traditionally, it’s a layer of a sheet of grilled kelp with a layer of cooked rice, then strips of stir fried egg, stir fried carrot, spinach, stir fried beef and pickled radish. Along with a light trickle of sesame oil. That’s the most common.

But Kimbap can have just about anything on top of the kelp and rice.

I like mine without the radish, with a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds.

I also love it with turkey, egg and cheese ! There is a common variety of American cheese kimbap enjoyed in Korea. Sorta like a breakfast burrito but with the kelp and rice rather than the flour tortilla.

I’ve seen and tried all kinds – even with hot dogs ! Even avocado goes well.

Toasted kelp is quite delicious, quick and easy to make.

Crab meat makes an awesome kimbap roll.

Just roll it up and slice it into medallions.

I like to dip mine in Korean mixing soy sauce (kanjang) with a dash of gyoza sauce – but no one does that in Korea. It’s like dipping a fries in mayonnaise hehehe … but i love it.

The point is – IT’s ALL COOKED.

Personally, it’s a mystery to me why anyone would eat meat – especially fish – ESPECIALLY TUNA or SALMON raw …

why gamble with your health?

Kimbap !!!
