How to make gimbap (aka kimbap: 김밥) 

I am 75y/o, getting ready to make my first sushi rolls - and was so happy to discover kimbap/gimbap and not have to risk my remaining life trying to do raw tuna and salmon! Maangchi, you are beautiful and fun to learn from.

I freaking love her. She makes me feel like I have a mom who is there for me and is willing to teach me how to cook :)

What I like the most is Maangchi’s attitude towards cooking. It as if she pours her heart and soul in it. Thanks to her that I can make korean simple dishes. Hopefully I can make more complicated, savory korean dishes in the future.

I think what I like most is how you include the little details like how to roll the gimbap using that tool. It may seem obvious or easy to some people, but for people who've never tried it, it's very good to learn visually on how to roll it. Thank you

Maangchi, I just made my first Kimbap tonight while I was at break (I work at home). I can't explain the happiness I felt after making my first roll!!! The best feeling ever. I'm so happy! 😍😀😀😀

My Korean friend would always bring these to school and she would give some to me and they are now my favorite food

I am a Korean. Most Korean like Kimbap. I have memories of children's picnic day too. I was always happy when I ate Kimbap. When the Corona situation is over, I want to go on a picnic with my family and eat Kimbap. I hope that day comes soon~

College student here: This is the first thing I've tried making since living on my own and it turned out so good! Thank you Maangchi!!

I’ve literally fallen in love with Korean food because of you Maangchi I hope you will write more books

저는 한국에서 3년 살았던 핀란드사람인데 한국생활보다 이 유투브 체널로 요리법을 더 배웠어요. 요즘은 유럽에서 맛있는 한국 음식을 만들 수 있어서 정말 고마워요!! ^^ 가르쳐주는 걸 잘 하고 아주 친절한 사람인것 같아요. 영어도 귀여운 한국스타일로 잘 하시네요. 새로운 비디오를 기대하고 있어요~

Just loved how round those gimbaps look after the roll.

It always amazes me how clear all instructions are and I I don’t need any depend attempts to make these amazing korean delights

My mother used to make me gimbap as a child, and it’s a favorite comfort food of mine. I finally tried to make it myself using your recipe, and it turned out awesome! Thank you so much :)

Filipino caption is up now! One of my viewers volunteered to translate the caption! Thank you so much!

I’ve watched almost all of maangchi’s cooking video and i realized that most of her secret ingredients were sesame oil, sesame seed and soy sauce, thats why i went to the store and purchased all of her secret ingredients to make my normal food to imitate her tasty delicious foods 😀😀

My Korean Son in Law is visiting, so I’m Very Happy to have found you ! This is one of his all time favourites . Now you’ve given me the opportunity to follow your instructions, Thank You for making them especially easy to follow🙏🏼 I may not come up to your [ or his Moms standards ! ] but I shall do my best ……. Thanks to You 🌹❤️🌹 Love and blessings to you from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🌬xxxxx

I have fifty million things I need to be doing around the house however I’m going to make Gimbap instead. It would be much easier if y’all adopted me. Then I could eat your cooking everyday. Thanks for the video!

This channel has changed my life! I'd never really been good at cooking much besides pasta, which is dull after a while. Now I can make all sorts of new, healthy and unique things for myself, my boyfriend and my family. It's so much fun bringing korean dishes to my parents home. They love it so much! Thank you! xx

I used to always get gimbap on my way to university for lunch between classes, from a local convenience store. Now I can make it myself for my lunches at work, thank you!!!

Extraordinary Attorney Woo brought me here.

Hi, Chinese here. I learnt how to make traditional kimchi from you couple months ago. Now I’m here to learn to make gimbap. I still remember when I first ate gimbap, I said it was sushi, my Korean housemates’ faces were not so good, they corrected me. That was embarrassing. This is a really good video to show people the difference between gimbap and sushi. I like it.

Just made some for my gf who was missing Korean food, ty so much!!! :))) tasted so good

Dear Maangchi, I just made & ate my first gimbap using your recipe (substituted tofu for beef) and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for teaching me. You are amazing.

Maangchi….. I have watched this for many years and had it as a goal….. Finally tonight I gather all the ingredients and used woven map I bought @ 5 years ago. I even made the pickled daikon from our garden ( made with turmeric for the color😁) I used ground venison from my husband and sons hunting, eggs from our family chickens, dinosaur kale, carrots from the garden. Other than the soy sauce ,sesame oil, rice and nori, I was able to adapt as you have always encouraged your viewers. It is so delicious!!!! I aIso included a little line of red pickle beet relish ..well drained for more color. So now I have my lunch all rolled up in parchment paper and foil for the week. I think each time I make , I will get better at rolling. Love all your wonderful recipes, your humor and creativity🌈👍. Recently loved seeing you cook in the desert🌄Thanks as always….

Vietnamese caption for this video is available now thanks to one of my Vietnamese audience! Thank you very much!

Okay... This is like the 5th video I've watched.... I totally hooked.. I'm a Chef and she's the real deal.. excellent recipes.. bullet proof!

My parents are very Americanize when it comes to food, like they’re open to trying new things but they’re very use to very American food, but I made this and they adored it and it’s made them open to any new foods more often from other countries especially if you wrote the recipe Maangchi!!

Made Kimbap for the first time today and I’m so happy! Thank you so much for everything you do, Maangchi!

I made gimbap with crumbled tempeh instead of the beef! I marinated it with the same ingredients(sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, black pepper) and it turned out delicious!

for my pescatarians out there: gimbap with tuna is absolutely DELICIOUS! i made it for our taste of korea festival last semester:)

This woman is amazing I craved to try Kimbap for a while but they don’t sell it where I live. I had to go to London to try it in a restaurant but it wasn’t that great. I came home and made this and it totally blew my mind and my son loved it too. I wish I could add a pic as it come out perfectly for a first attempt. Thank you so much for this tutorial xx

Aah I made kimbap for the first time today! When I went to the Korean market for the ingredients, I was able to speak to the Lady working there in Korean. She was so excited to talk to me about kimbap and show me where the danmuji was! Thank you for the recipe! I had so much fun learning more about Korean culture and the kimbap was delicious!! 💞😋

Kimbap makes me happy... I like korean food more than the typical food of my country :D because everything is spicy and with sesame oil and seeds!! so yummy!!

First day of ramadan.. and this is what im craving 😭😭😫. . Omg

I just came here because kim tae-hyung who is also known as bts V told us to try this. ...... tnx ma'am i will really try this.... thank you

In California in early grade school we had lunch on the green it’s when parents would come and have lunch with their kids and if a parent didn’t come you could sit with your friends or with a teacher and I would make brownies and share with my friends I’m almost in high school now and my friends and I have picnics and I made this for my friends in culinary class they all loved it

김밥 전파 선구자가 있었네요! 조간 신문에서 요새 '조트레이더'의 냉동 김밥으로 틱톡 영상을 만들어 히트해서 인생을 바꾸었다는, 사라안의 기사를 읽고 유튜브에서 'kimbap'을 검색해 보았더니 벌써 9년 전에 이 영샹이 올라 있었네요! 9년 전이라면, 김밥 자랑의 선구자이신, 망치님도 새 역사를 쓰시기를 축원합니다!

I love your accent,and u seem as a very nice lady as you are a sweet hard and beautiful lady as well.I am Palestinian and my best friend at high school was Korean ,her parents owned a restaurant in Greece and i just loved the food they used to make,My daughter loves Korean people and keeps watching Korean series,You are very good at your work,,good job ,and best wishes to you and your family.

I love that Maangchi is still in the comments answering questions years later. You are the best Maangchi! I really should pick up your book.

So I finally tried this at home and I’m literally so proud of myself. They turned out pretty darn good for my first time. It took me a while to do because I’m a slow cook but I completed it and always had this video on hand. Thank you! You’re amazing💕

korean sushi ❌ '김밥(kimbap)' ⭕

Dear Maangchi, I have a wife, 7 daughters and a son. We eat American and Mexican food. Both are not too healthy. We are now switching to Korean and Japanese food as our primary food cooking style. I am going to H-Mart in San Jose CA tomorrow and spending $500 on ingredients, cookware etc.. I will make the trip to H-Mart once per month to buy meats, kimchee and other Korean goods as we need them. Korean is my #1 favorite food! :) I am going to Vlog it all and post the video! I can't wait!

I found this video when I was in high school and decided to cook it one Sunday and bring it to school every day during the week. To this day, I still think about how delicious it was. Thank you :)

I made kimbap last night for dinner, and it was so yummy. I was so satisfied. Afterwards I felt super proud of myself. 😂 I kinda stressed myself out for nothing, it really is as easy as making a sandwich. ❤ Thank you.

i made this recipe for my homeroom teacher on valentines day this year and she smiled at me and gave me a hug ^_^

한국음식의 세계화에 기여하신 망치님 응원합니다

Gimbab ingredients can be selected as you like. ^^ (I am native Korean) Gimbap can be made with Vegetables only ^^ *soft Cheese can be used replacing beef.

My interest in gimbap grew with "Extraordinary Attorney". Using sesame oil rather than rice vinegar on the rice makes rolls distinctly Korean. I'm now long acquainted with using sesame oil and garlic for delicious side dishes. Everything works with Gimbap! I intentional save small leftover dishes for inclusion. No recipe needed beyond the gim and the bap preparation. Endless combinations.

Thank-you for sharing this recipe, I also love when you tell us stories about Korean culture (like how on children's day you give 김밥 to the teachers) ^_^/

I love her! She covers each topic with such patience. Any doubt i have gets cleared by the end of the video and the recipes are explained so well!

Made kimbap today for my son. I didn't have the Korean pickle and I used fried spam cut into strips for the meat. It was delicious. Thank you for the tutorial. ❤️ P.S. my mother-in-law got me your cookbook for Christmas and I LOVE it.

This channel just makes me smile.

Russian caption was submitted by one of my viewers! Thank you so much!

I made gimbap for my grandfather for his birthday dinner and he absolutely loved it. He also loves cooking so I showed him your channel and he told me that he's been watching your videos ever since I made gimbap for him. Maangchi, you inspire me everyday to cook through this quarantine.

You make cooking korean dishes seem easy! You're voice is very calming as well. I don't cook as much but now I think I'll consider. Thank you Maangchi!

Your children will happy everyday...delicious food yummy yummy

I followed this recipe and brought kimbap to a potluck party and everyone loved it. They even asked for recipe and I directed them to this video. Your videos are always inspirational 😍

어렸을때 소풍가면 어머니가 김밥 싸주셔서 너무 맛있게 먹었죠. 소풍을 기다린게 아니라 김밥먹으러 가는걸 기다림. ㅎㅎㅎ

This is so cute - that cut-out flower is like a mother's love! ❤

Turkish caption is up now! One of my viewers submitted the caption for my Turkish viewers! Thanks a lot!

I made this when my brother came home from a trip to Korea. He said it tasted exactly like the ones he had on his trip. My family and I loved it! I highly recommend giving it a shot! ;)

@maangchi a big fan of yours recipe tomorrow i m gonna prepare this for dinner for my husband it's a surprise for him lots of love a fan love from India

I am a teacher in the United States and it made me really happy that you made special a gimbap for your child's teachers. I'm sure it was so appreciated! I love your cooking videos and how well you explain things. Thank you so much for this channel! :)

진심으로 대단하신 것 같아요... 오래된 영상에서도 이따금씩 고정 코멘트가 있는데 고정된 날짜를 보면 영상 게시일과는 상관없이 최근에 달아두시는 듯 하더라구요. 꾸준히 롱런하시고 사랑 받으신 데는 다 이유가 있다는 생각이 드네요. 그리고 항상 국격을 높여 주셔서 감사합니^-^

i have always wondered.. how korean food tastes... n i fantasize about how it tastes.. Now through your channel i can try at home...

It has been a while that I love making Gimbaps. I thought though it was hard to make one. But it's not after watching this video. I've always been making gimbaps more often now. My children love eating gimbaps too! Thanks Ms Maangchi for all the videos you have created!

I'm sure Attorney Woo would like these....

손 맛좋은 얌전한 모습이 넘 보기 좋아요 당장 고기김밥 해먹고 싶어지네요

You're my go-to youtuber when it comes to korean food cooking. You're so fun to watch and very detailed. I also love the camera view so that we can see clearly how you prepare the food.

You are the sweetest person I ever watched for a recipe. Thanks for sharing it so well.

Thank you so much ! You are so sweet and explained every process to people who’ve never cooked Korean foods, like me. I hope your channel blooms even better than this. 💗💗💗

Dear Maangchi, I discovered your channel a couple of months ago and I have been hooked since. Your presentation and commentary is so relatable and adorable. Thanks for sharing all the goodness of Korean Food with the rest of the world! I am writing to you from Accra, Ghana ( West Africa ). I had the good fortune to visit a Korean-Japanese restaurant recently and got to try bulgogi kimbap. It was so flavourful. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I also tried kimchi Jeon, it was absolutely great. I understand now why Koreans love Kimchi!!! I will definitely try my hands at making them at home. Keep the recipes and videos coming. PS: What side dishes would you recommend to have with kimbap?

Thank you for sharing this video! I lived in a co-op in college and my Asian housemates made this for our special occasions each month. I loved learning how to make this from them. This video reminded me of how much fun I had learning from my friends more than 20 years ago. I had forgotten the names of many of the ingredients, so it was nice to find this information. I am so happy I found your channel!

Maangchi I love gimbap.You have Showned as how to make it, thank you. I love korean food. From Cape Verde 🇨🇻

awww the detail about students gifting their teachers gimbap was so awesome!!! i have been graduated for 3 years now but i am still friends with one of my former teachers and he was also an english teacher in korea! that gives me an idea.... 🤗

망치님 너무 귀여우셔서 도저히 끊을수가 없다 이채널 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It felt so satisfying when you were cutting the radish!

I’m not subscribed, but I find these videos somewhat regularly when I’m looking for new recipes. I love this lady! She’s so wonderful. All around positive energy and happiness, she’s the best :D

I made them today, it was SO GOOD but I used chicken instead of steak, thank youuu

Finally. Someone that makes it fun and easy to understand

This is unusually satisfying

This really feels like my mom is teaching me how to cook. So comforting. Will definitely be trying this recipe soon!

I love everything you make. One day I will learn them when I can get all the correct Korean ingredients. For now I'm learning cooking techniques. Thank you for sharing.

Because of this gimbap i subscribed.

고맙습니다! It looks so delicious! Now i know how to roll kimpap with my bamboo mat!

I love the way you tell us some small information realated to the dishes u make. Your a very loving motherly person. Thank u.

My Korean friend shared some of her delicious lunch with me...she offered me Kimbap (a variety of her favorites), but the one that I remember most was made with Eel & lightly drizzled with sesame oil. I thought that I would NEVER eat eel. But, I have to tell you the "Eel Kimbap" was so DELICIOUS. Maangchi's Kimbap is just as delicious. I'm so elated that she teaches us how to make it properly. Thank you for sharing Maangchi, you slay in the kitchen...You're the BEST teacher, ever! :-D

wow i love her so much. shes such a bright person. love the energy

The new popular gimbap here in South Korea is donkatsu gimbap. Basically, a fried pork cutlet is sliced thinly, and rolled with cabbage, mayonnaise, and a little Korean mustard.

Watching and drooling , in my current state of being. I'm not allowed sushi , MD's instructions but I definitely can have gimbap.

Thank you, Maangchi! Made Kimbap for the first time and it was delicious,followed exact recipe and it worked like magic!❣

I find it cute when she said "which one first? carrot first!" :D it makes me feel like i was in the kitchen with my mom or teacher

Aww. she's so adorable and happy.

Hi! I've been a big fan of yours for a while now but I wanted to thank you for making videos. I just moved in with a Korean roommate and as a treat I made him his favorite sundubu jjigae! I loved your recipe best and he had nothing but good things to say! I'll post a photo of it on your website later. I also used what I learned with that to make a variation of congee with gochugaru and sesame oil on top, with sauteed spinach and roasted almonds. I have been going through your recipes learning so much!

I just found your channel today and I LOVE how kind and adorable you are in teaching us how to cook. Can't wait to try this recipe!

Ukrainian caption was submitted by one of my viewers! Thanks a lot!

My wife bought all the ingredients at the Air Force Base, she's going to make it after Thanksgiving!

They turned out great ty❤

Lucky it’s my favorite chef who got the receipt. I was just hoping it is there or ask a video. I’m going to try this in the weekend. Lv you ❤️

I loved eating gimbap on children’s picnic day. One of my fondest memories of my childhood in Korea ❤️
