What is Gimmari?
Kimari, or gimmari, are Korean deep-fried seaweed rolls that is considered a popular street food! They’re typically made with glass noodles, minced meat, and veggies rolled in seaweed paper, and then deep fried in tempura batter. Some ttekbokki street vendors also serve gimmari with tteokbokki sauce, making the two dishes a popular combination.
CJ Foods Crispy Seaweed Rolls – Gimmari (Hot & Spicy)
- CJ Foods frozen food line is quite extensive – you could even find a non-spicy version!
- These could be made a number of different ways – stove top, conventional oven and although there are no instructions for air frying, you could totally pop it in there like I did.
- These gimmari is stuffed with traditional filling – bean thread noodles and assorted vegetables.
Honest Review/Thoughts
Crispy on the outside; soft, sweet, savory and of course, spicy on the inside. The taste is really similar to tteokbokki sauce! The heat definitely creeps up a bit, making it super addicting. I prefer to air fry these to get maximum crunch without excess oil. This goes great as a side dish/snack for your parties, so give it a try and purchase a bag!
