kim bap must be the korean equivalent of tza bun/chow fun(fried rice for all you non-taiwanese lurkers).

b/c everytime msm gives free dinners, they always seem to put this stuff up.

like i've said, it's pretty much the equivalent of fried rice gone korean. just that the eggs aren't scrambled, you use lettuce instead of peas, slice the vegetables lengthwise instead of dicing them, no green onion(i THINK that's always added to tza bun), and of course, it's a korean dish, so you have to add hot sauce.

but i'm confused; everytime i look for a "kimbap" or "kim bap" recipe on google, it always turns up that seaweed's in the recipe, and not hot sauce's added; is there something that msm's not including in this dish? am i calling this dish by some other name? confused... they also compare it more to sushi...

maybe it's bibimbap? the results i turned up for googling "kimbap" with "hot sauce" together have some pages listing bibimbap, with similar ingredients to that of the dish i've seen and eaten.

maybe my ears are just not tuned enough?

i'm just gonna assume it's bibimbap...

fyi, one of the things i'm gonna consider in the future is self-learning japanese and korean, maybe mandarin. but especially japanese; you can't play fighting games without the japanese influence seen, and so it would massively help me if i could actually browse japanese websites without getting lost; using altavista doesn't quite cut it, because it translates the pages into fobenese.
