History of Gimbap
or Kimbap
Gimbap also romanized as kimbap, is a Korean dish made from cooked rice,
vegetables, fish, and meat rolled in gim dried sheets of seaweed and served in
bite-sized slices.The origins of gimbap are debated. Some sources suggest it
originates from Japanese norimaki, introduced during Japanese colonial
rule,while others argue it is a modernized version of bossam from the Joseon era.
The dish is often part of a packed meal, or dosirak, to be eaten at picnics and
outdoor events, and can serve as a light lunch along with danmuji (yellow pickled
radish) and kimchi. It is a popular takeaway food in South Korea and abroadand is
known as a convenient food because of its portability.
The origins of gimbap are debated.One commonly accepted theory
suggests that the dish is derived from the introduction of the
Japanese sushi variant makizushi to Korea during the Japanese
occupation of Korea. During that period, Korean cuisine adopted
Western food and drink, as well as some Japanese food items such
as bento (dosirak in Korean) or sushi rolled in sheets of seaweed.
Since then, gimbap has become a distinct dish, often utilizing
traditional Korean flavors, as well as sesame oil, instead of rice
vinegar. This theory is supported by a newspaper from 1935, in
which the term gimbap first appeared in Korea.
