COPENHAGEN KIMBAP 🇩🇰

So much of the Danish traditional and modern cuisine blew me away in Copenhagen but the more I tasted them, I couldn’t quite put a finger on what would be good turned into a kimbap.

It was at the TorvehallerneKBH market that I spotted these internationally famous tinned fish, and learned about the environmentally conscious fishing industry of Denmark that seemed to align well with the entire city of Copenhagen. So here it is!! Let me know what else could’ve been a good idea as a Danish inspired kimbap!

Also thank you Copenhagen for such an amazing time ❤️ #kimbap #copenhagen #koreanfood

... Read moreMy culinary exploration in Copenhagen truly opened my eyes to the incredible local produce and the city's commitment to sustainability. After crafting my unique Danish-inspired kimbap, using that surprisingly delicious local trout from a circular aquaculture system, I realized there's so much more to discover beyond my own kitchen experiments! Speaking of must-try foods, if you're ever wondering what else to eat in Copenhagen, especially if you're searching for something hearty and satisfying like the ‘best sandwiches Copenhagen’ has to offer, you absolutely cannot miss out on smørrebrød. These aren't just any sandwiches; they're iconic open-faced Danish masterpieces! Imagine beautifully buttered rye bread piled high with artfully arranged toppings. My personal favorites include pickled herring with dill and onion, or the classic roast beef with remoulade, crispy fried onions, and horseradish. You'll find them everywhere, from cozy cafes to upscale restaurants, each offering their unique spin on this national dish. Just like my kimbap celebrated local ingredients, smørrebrød is all about showcasing the freshest Danish produce and seafood. Delving a bit more into my kimbap creation, the inspiration truly sparked at the vibrant TorvehallerneKBH market. That's where I found the incredible tinned trout. The OCR captured it perfectly: the trout really does taste AMAZING, largely due to Denmark's strict laws encouraging sustainable fishing. To bring it all together for my kimbap, the process was quite an adventure! After prepping the main protein, I focused on textures and flavors: making those 'pillowy eggs' that are so essential, and adding crisp carrots for a pop of color. The 'instant rice,' a clever hack inspired by a fellow food blogger, provided the perfect base. Seasoning with salt, a touch of that unique trout oil, and my trusty sesame oil, ensured every bite was flavorful. And let's not forget the dip! A special creation that truly blended my Korean roots with Danish elements: 'chopped kimchi' mixed with creamy 'Danish mayo' and a bright zest of 'lemon' – it was a flavor explosion! Rolling the kimbap is always a 'one shot' moment, requiring focus, but the satisfaction of seeing it 'coming together!' and creating a 'Jeonju style kimbap ssam' was immense. It's experiences like these, mixing local finds with global flavors, that make food exploration in Copenhagen so rewarding. Whether you're trying a traditional smørrebrød or creating your own fusion dish, the city's food scene is endlessly fascinating!
