Tips:

• Substitutes: For a vegetarian version, you can replace tuna and imitation crab meat with tofu or tempeh strips. For a gluten-free option, ensure all ingredients, especially the soy sauce, are certified gluten-free.
• Rolling Tip: If you’re having trouble rolling the kimbap tightly, try adding a little less filling or practice with an empty seaweed sheet first to get the hang of it.
