Whereas gimbab by definition is dried laver (gim) + rice (bab), it typically comes rolled with various veg and meats inside, like Japanese maki.

This samgak (triangle) form is a secondary type.  Rice is shaped into a triangular chunk, saucy filling in the center, wrapped dried laver, like Japanese onigiri.

Dried laver, sized specifically for this application.

Spicy tuna in a can, not made for this purpose but ideally suited for it.

(1) layer of rice pressed into triangular mold + (2) dollop of filling placed in center…

(3) cover with layer of rice + (4) press into shape…

(5) remove mold + (6) cover with dried laver (still in plastic wrap).

(7) remove wrap just before eating…

(8) enjoy.

Not my thing, certainly not for dinner, but okay for a quick fix snack or a simple lunch for the kids.
