What you can do if you can’t find special seaweed for samgak kimbap is this:

Take the toasted laver you use for regular kimbap and cut in half.
Then you just wait to wrap it until just before eating. I usually wrap mine in a plastic wrap and carry the laver in another zip-lock bag with me. That’s how I do it for Onigiri (which is like the Japanese version of samgak kimbap, but sometimes it doesn’t have the seaweed) too.

It’s called Nori, or Sushi Nori in Japanese. When it’s pre-toasted, it’s called Yakinori or Yaki Sushi Nori. Sometimes I even buy packages of kim sometimes that are from Assi brand, but they have the Japanese name written in English Letters, and then they have Korean writing next to it.

I have trouble finding seaweed for samgak kimbap as well..i tried 2 asian supermarkets already and both do not have it. They only have the type for regular kimbap and sushi..

there is another asian store but i don’t think i’ll have time to go there till after my exams..if i still can’t find them, looks like the chances of me trying to make samgak kimbap in belfast is quite bleak.. lol .. will have to wait till i return to malaysia XD

Thank you very much for your helpful information. I find the kim (seaweed) for samgak kimbap is not sold in many grocery stores in New York. $4.29 for 10 pieces is too expensive though. I hope some Korean grocery stores sell a larger package (30 pieces- 50 pieces) for cheaper price!

Hello! :) I have finally found this seaweed for triangle kimbap. After searching many supermarkets including the korean supermarket in kway in NYC I have found it in a Japanese specialty supermarket. It is a different brand but you’ll definitely know it is for triangle kimbap when you see it. I found it at sunrise mart. It is at
29 3rd Ave
(between 10th St & 2nd Ave)
New York, NY 10003.

There is 10 pieces for $4.29
Hope this helps!

Hi, I’m sure you could get the kim (seaweed) for samgakkimbap easily there. When you go to a Korean store, ask the sales clerk to find the ingredient for you. Or leave your question here. Someone else may know where to find it in your area. http://www.maangchi.com/talk/forum/where-to-buy-korean-cooking-ingredients

안녕하세요,

I was wondering if you ever found a place that sells the 삼각김밥용김. I also live in Fullerton but I can’t find any place that sells the 김 in the OC area.
