Sushi rice made for Japanese-style sushi rolls typically has rice vinegar and sugar mixed in. The rice in kimbap, however, is seasoned with sesame oil and salt for a different flavor.
Kimbap can sometimes include processed cheese slices, tuna, beef, spam, or a strip of scrambled egg, but this vegan version will fill you up without harming animals.
Japchae was a staple for me in Korea, easily made vegan by ordering it without pork. The chewy sweet potato noodles paired with mushrooms, carrots, and other veggies make a perfect side dish or main course.
Pajeon made with eggs and cut-up squid, Pajeon can be serve savory dipping sauce.
Literally translated as “fist rice,” these snacks are popular when packing a picnic lunch. The delicate spices and chopped veggies pair perfectly with the texture of the rice.
One of the best comfort foods you can ate in Korea, hobak juk, is warm, sweet, and filling. Perfect for a cold winter day.
