TO CUT AND PRESENT THE KIMBAP
First wipe off a knife with a wet towel which helps to slice through the roll cleanly. Then, cut down the centre of roll first, then line the two pieces of one in front of the other. Cut into three pieces and serve by arranging the rolls to highlight the beautiful fillings in the centre.
