In the United States, Trader Joe's frozen packaged gimbap is making a splash, fueling more interest in Korean cuisine.
On its home turf in South Korea, the idea of freezing seaweed rice rolls seems far from appetizing, as gimbap is readily available in convenience stores, street food stalls and anywhere there is demand for on-the-go meals.
