For some reason I’ve been feeling incredibly nostalgic about our Southeast Asia travels lately, so I’ve been cooking a lot of our favorites from there. I first had this salad in Chiang Mai, and wrote about it here.

I’m still really excited about the fact that I can make edible rice without a rice cooker! I know white rice is pretty [...] After eating gimbap at least once a day for the first four days we were here, I knew I had to try and make it myself.
