A picnic with Korean gimbap

I went on a picnic with a lunchbox packed by my Korean friend.

It included gimbap made with spicy dried shredded squid (jinmichae), rolled omelet, and brown rice, and the combination of flavors was amazing!

There was also sweet potato “goguma-mattang,” which was a real treat. The sugar coating on the outside was reminiscent of tanghulu—it felt like a perfect dessert.

The egg sandwich had cute character designs stamped on it, and it was almost too adorable to eat (though I did end up eating it all).😄😄
