Samgak Gimbap is a Korean triangular rice ball filled with various ingredients and wrapped in gim (roasted seaweed sheets). It is one of Korea's most iconic convenience foods, widely loved as a quick and satisfying meal in everyday life.

While it looks similar to Japanese Onigiri, there are a few key differences. Korean Samgak Gimbap typically features a wider variety of fillings with richer seasoning, and the seaweed wraps the entire rice ball. In this product, despite the "Bulgogi" name, the filling is made with plant-based protein (TVP, Textured Soybean Protein) and King Oyster Mushroom to recreate the Bulgogi flavour — making it a vegan product developed for the EU market. The sweet and umami-rich character of traditional Bulgogi sauce is faithfully reproduced using plant-based ingredients.

Yes, this product is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. Although the name "Bulgogi" may suggest meat, this EU export product uses plant-based protein (Concentrated Textured Soybean Protein) and King Oyster Mushroom instead of animal meat to recreate the distinctive Bulgogi flavour. It contains no dairy (milk), eggs, or other animal-derived ingredients.
