Nicknamed “addictive kimbap” in Seoul’s oldest covered street market. Instead of packing seven fillings into a wide log, vendors roll just julienned carrot, yellow radish, and spinach inside sesame-glossed rice no thicker than a thumb.
They are served uncut or halved in towering market stacks alongside a nose-tingling soy-vinegar-mustard sauce that turns one bite into twelve.
