Korean roll Gimbap(kimbob)

I would like to introduce Gimbap. It is a Korean style of rolls and a kind of soul food to me. When I was a little girl, my grandmother used to make it for me whenever we go to picnics. Because it is bite-size and doesn't need any side dishes, you can enjoy it anytime, anywhere easily. Furthermore, it is low-fat, healthy, savory, and delectable. You will not be able to stop, once you start eating.
