Korean Rice Meal Recommendations

Hungry for some Korean food? Now we got you covered with some excellent Korean rice meals that you can try making at home or have some in a local restaurant near you.

Like many Asian dishes, Korean food has its own different style and flavor that make them unique from all the other dishes out there. We are happy to share with you some of our current cravings that you would definitely enjoy.

Kimchi Bokkeumbap

We mentioned a couple of times before that Korean food is nothing without Kimchi. If you're craving for it along with rice, then the Kimchi Bokkeumbap is for you. It is easy to make this at home as it is fried rice with Kimchi. Just mix the Kimchi, rice (we recommend you use leftover rice to lessen food waste), finely chopped green onions, egg, and sesame seeds for garnish. You can add more vegetables or meat to your dish. The volume would be up to you.

Samgak Gimbap 

The Samgak Gimbap is a different twist to the similar rice roll meals like Japan's onigiri. It is usually notable for its various fillings that are carefully and neatly placed inside cooked rice shaped into a triangle and wrapped in seaweed (gim). Making your own samgak gimbap at home only needs the following ingredients: rice, seaweed, tuna, rice vinegar, salt, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil. You make this a meal or a quick snack.

Chamchi Gimbap

Gimbap or Korean rice roll is a very popular dish similar to sushi and California maki. What makes it stand out from the others is that the Chamchi Gimbap is made out of canned tuna, eggs, rice vinegar, rice, seaweed, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and carrots. You can add in more vegetables and other ingredients if you like. You can try out and experiment with other ingredients when you make this at home.

So that's about it. We hope you get to enjoy these Korean rice meals to satisfy your tastebuds!
