In this episode, Namjoon is in charge of making gimbap which is basically a Korean sushi roll minus the raw fish and vinegared rice. I love gimbap because it is so versatile. Got leftover veggies and protein? Make gimbap!
I used some cooked zucchini slices, omelette, cucumber, spinach, carrots and pickled radish but you can use whatever you like/have available.
