Korean Sushi Rolls

A lot of the students studying English at Internexus Provo, come from many different cultures across the world. We encourage our students to try new things and share their culture backgrounds with each other. One of our students shared this article about Korean sushi rolls. Enjoy!

Kimbap (Korean sushi roll)

1.   The difference between Kimbap and Japanese sushi (紫菜卷与寿司的区别/紫菜卷與壽司的區別)

Kimbap is derived from the Japanese futomaki (lit. "large rolls") style maki-zushi sushi rolls and became popular among Korean people in the modern era, but differs in the way the rice is seasoned and in the fillings. In sushi, relatively large amounts of sweetened rice vinegar is added to the rice and sesame oil is traditionally not used, as it is in gimbap. Korean gimbap generally does not contain raw fish and is prepared with sauteed beef, sausage, ham, fish cake, or crab stick. Unlike Japanese maki, gimbap is usually not served with wasabi soy sauce or sushi ginger, but is sometimes dipped in kimchi brine.

紫菜包饭是来自日本的futomaki（“大卷”）风格寿司卷，在当今时代深受韩国人的欢迎，但是它们之间是有区别的，比如说 包的方式，以及料的取材。日本寿司，要大量的加入米醋加糖， 然而韩国紫菜卷是添加香芝麻油。并且，韩国紫菜卷一般不包含生鱼，通常包含炒牛肉，香肠，火腿，鱼饼，或蟹棒等熟食。不像寿司，韩国紫菜卷不提供与芥末酱油或寿司姜，但有时沾泡菜水食用。
