    Amy,
    yes, you will have to buy kim(laver) for kimbap like the one in the photo above. In the photo, it says, “kim for kimbap”(김밥용 김)

    Hi Maangchi!

    This is Amy, I just emailed you recently! Anyway, I want to make kimbap, but are there different kinds of sea plant? I don’t want to get a kind that will crack and break when I roll it? This kind you use seems thicker and more flexible?

    Thanks! See you in New York soon! :)
