Convenience store in Korea - Do you know "triangular gimbap"?

I would like to introduce the CVS food "triangular gimbap". Triangular gimbap is one of popular food in Korea becuase it is easy to eat and quickly satisfy your hunger. I usually eat triangular gimbap with noodles. Triangular gimbap is triangle-shaped rice wrapped with seaweed topped with seasoned fist or meat including tuan, chicken, beef, or pork. In some triangular gimbap, rice is stir-fried with soy sauce or red pepper paste.

The flavors and tastes of triangular gimbap enjoyed by Korea are as follows:

1. Tuan mayyonnaise (in Korean 참치김밥) - It is a mild taste, so anyone can enjoy it.
2. Beef jeonju bibimbap (in Korean 소고기 전주비빔) - The rice is stir-fried with red pepper paste and topped with beef. It is slightly more spicy than tuna mayonnaise.
3. Hot and spicy chiken with cheese (in Korean 치즈불닭) - It is topped seasoned chicken with spicy red pepper. I recommend this one who enjoys spicy food.

Next, I will show how to eat triangular gimbap. As you can see, the number is written on the wrapping paper. So, you can proceed in order of number. First, tear down the part of wrapping paper, then pull the wrapping paer in order. (Warning! Pull the wrapping paper slowly!) Enjoy the triangular gimbap.
