Kimbap is quite self-explanatory – “kim” in Korean means “seaweed,” and “bap” means “rice.” The soft seaweed encases white rice, which Chung presses around a variety of Korean ingredients. Her signature dish features a spiced beef called bulgogi, with carrots, spinach, pickled radish, egg and imitation crab. She uses the same ingredients — except the bulgogi — in her spam roll, which has been supremely popular among friends and family as she tests her recipes. Kimbap is meant to be eaten in one bite, like a piece of sushi, so all the flavors arrive together, though that’s a tall task for Chung’s thick pieces.
