There once was a wonderful Sunday School Pastor, named Peace Jundosanim. She came to relieve the usual Sunday School pastor while she was on maternity leave, and the LKCC children loved her. She became wonderful friends with Scott's mom and after she left, kept in contact with her.
Christmas season came, and Peace sent a large package to Scott's house. Scott's mother opened the parcel and inside were many presents to jangronims and jipsanims at LKCC! One of these gifts was a do-it-yourself samgak kimbap (triangle kimbap) maker kit thing, and Scott's sister Ashley was very very excited about it, indeed. So, she set about learning how to assemble these wonderful snack-sized rice balls wrapped in seaweed ["kim" (pronounced "geem") or "nori], but there was no clear instructions online! After examing photo after photo after obscure website about "onigiri" (the Japanese term for samgak kimbap), she finally figured out how to wrap the triangular lump of rice! Here are the fruits of her labour:
Instructions on Assembling "Samgak Kimbap"
1. Season sticky rice with sesame oil, salt, and sesame seeds. (I also mixed in a rice seasoning mix for extra flavaaa)
2. Prepare your filling of choice, a strip of kim, and a (preferably non-stick) surface to work on.
3. Fill bottom of a triangular rice mold with rice, and make a small impression in the centre.
4. Place filling in the middle of the triangle, and cover with more seasoned rice.
5. Use the triangle "top" to compress your rice and contained filling into a tight triangle.
6. Stand your rice triangle in the middle of your strip of kim, and fold it up on each side of the rice.
7. Wrap corners of each side around the rice and hold in place with a sticker (included in the kim package).
8. VOILA! You have created your own, personalized, super cute samgak kimbap! ENJOY!
Now, opening this package is another feat altogether, but if you wish to go about this without ripping your kim in the process, there are videos of how to do this online. Hahaha!
I am in love with this stuff. Some fillings I have tried to date are a spicy chili tuna, a lemon dill tuna, and smoked salmon + cream cheese! Mmmm. It was so frustrating, though, me and my mom ventured to make one together and utterly failed.. we ruined 3 of those plastic-wrapped sheets of kim before I set about figuring out how to do it properly.
The end.

you have quite the stock of pencil cases now o_O...are you going to use them all at once...or in order from worst to best...or best to worst?? sometimes...when i get loads of the same type of item (such as pens or notebooks) i try to use the uglier ones (even though they are all noice) first...but it takes a long time...and by the time its time to use the prettier ones i'd been saving...i've already bought even MORE notebooks that will sit in waiting....i will never buy a notebook and use it right away...kind of like when you go to a potluck and get tons of stuff on your plate...and you save a piece of everything and then when you start eating the pieces you save the best thing for last?? HAHA...could this comment be longer? guffaws.
to be honest, i haven't seen the video u posted here, i don't want my parents to see it (we're in the same room...although i'm pretty sure you are not going to strip your clothes off or anything hahahah). but i must say TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL?!?! I want one of those triangle kimbap machines!! OH EM GEEE~~~ and i must say i have to update my blog cause wow it's been a while, i've been waiting for some substantial cool pics, i think i'm going to make it a goal to take a picture a day or something, or ...update at least once a week, sigh i miss you~~ i'm movin to toronto soon!
