Review of Kimbap - Trader Joe's by beckyyy

I’ve been a bit intimidated to try this, as the instructions call for microwaving but I don’t have a working microwave. I ended up steaming them and it worked out well! I’ve not come across restaurant vegan kimbap yet so I’ve only had homemade before so I don’t have a base for comparison to anything authentically made but I really enjoyed this and am so happy that TJs chose to make this roll vegan. I’m not sure how anyone could not love fried tofu and it made a nice base for the filling. The filling was seasoned well. A gochujang Mayo or other dipping sauce would be a nice accompaniment but I find it flavorful enough on it’s own to not need it. The rice doesn’t have the perfect texture but one wouldn’t expect a frozen product of this nature to compare with freshly made. I think this is a tasty, fun and reasonably priced convenience product that I would repurchase. (I’ve also seen that H-Mart has several vegan frozen kimbap options so I’ll definitely need to make an H-Mart trip for those and some other delicious items once I’m near one.)
