What is it?
Gimbap is a Korean rice roll wrapped in seaweed, filled with pickled radish, spinach, carrot, egg and often ham or tuna, then brushed with sesame oil and sliced.
It is standard picnic and road-trip food in Korea, sold whole in Seoul convenience stores and gimbap shops, packed for outings in 27°C humid summers.
It tastes nutty from sesame, with crunchy, tangy vegetables. It looks like sushi, but the rice is seasoned with sesame oil, not vinegar. A whole roll is usually eaten as a full light meal.

How we tested
Reference by Y.W. Fung at 82kg with an Apple Watch Ultra. The reference route is a 5.3-mile loop at 3.1 mph walking and 6 mph running; food burn minutes are calculated from calories at those rates, not individually walked off for every food. The reference test date is 2026-05-20. Check the food's listed source and serving.
In Seoul and Tokyo, where summers are usually around 27°C and humid, a longer walk in the heat can feel harder than the reference loop shown here.
