In a recent post, there’s been a ton of people coming to wrongly say that a Redditor who made maki rolls with a thick(er than people prefer) layer of rice, cucumber, carrot and fish, that they made Kimbap.
Futomaki has been around longer than for example the California roll (probably set the standard for ”rolls” in the US), and is a common type of sushi.
It could very well be kimbap with the same fillings, but the distinction lies in the rice.
Vinegared rice = sushi
Salted, sesame oil rice = kimbap
Thank you for coming to my TED-talk.

Thank you for shari-ng
Futomaki does not contain carrots
This attest to popularity in K-culture.
Not long ago, people used to call kimbap korean sushi.
Kimbap, if I’m recalling right, been a sec, also tends to use glutinous rice vs sushi rice!
Also, this made me really want bulgogi kimbap, I’m gonna have to break out my supplies soon
