I haven't made any seaweed rice rolls (Gimpab) in years, and never with a bamboo roller. Wow! It makes it so much easier! The first roll was a mess, but the second better. I used purple rice, pickled turnip (yellow), sauteed cod (I made it), fresh spinach, Korean fish cake, and carrots. On the second roll I substituted crab cake for cod. An authentic version would also have cooked egg and mushrooms in addition to the veggies and crab. In Korea, restaurants add tuna salad, beef, fried shrimp, kimchi, etc. Hopefully mine will be as pretty next time! I need taste-testers... any volunteers?

No, it's not a prize winner or even out of the ordinary. Sweet zucchini squash is normally this big! I've said it before, living in Korea offers the benefit of fresh produce from farmer's markets, and they are not a weekend occurrence. Farming is alive and well in Korea: all the veggies, fruits, and rice come from all around and all over. On my bike rides, I pedal past fields of rice, spinach, cabbage, corn, etc. etc. I am so lucky to have fresh food, uncontaminated, unmodified; grown by grannies and grampas and other farmers. I don't have to go to a specialty food store like Whole Paycheck and pay outrageous prices for wholesome, healthy food. In fact, sometimes it comes to my door... there's the melon man, selling his sweet Korean cantaloupe-like melons out of the back of his truck, driving down the road. Gotta go!
