When I was in high school, my group of friends used to share our lunches with each other. Not every day, just when we had something special. It was a real treat when my friend brought in extra rolls of
kimbab to share with us. Back then, I didn't know it as kimbab, we just called it korean sushi. But in fact, it is in a class all of its own, and I was delighted when, after all these years, I discovered what it was called and where I could get it.
If you like the idea of sushi but don't fancy raw fish, you will love kimbab. It is filled with many ingredients including picked carrots, egg, your choice of meat (such as pork, prawn, chicken), picked daikon, sesame oil and tofu. Kimbab, when made expertly, has the perfect ratio of filling to rice (which means not too much rice).
One place to try kimbab is Mira's Korean Street Food, where it is made fresh to order.

Mira's Korean Street Food
Mira's is excellent value. The total bill for 3 of us came to $30 and we had enough leftovers for another person.

As well as a wide range of kimbab, Mira's also offer other Korean street food delights like Korean sausage (soondae) and skewers.
Order and pay at the counter, then pick a table and help yourself to the water while you wait for your food to be brought to you.
