Gimmari Rolls | The crunchy Korean snack you didn't know you needed!

July 23, 2025Vivian Mei

If you've ever tried street tteokbokki in Korea, you've probably come across its best companion: the deep-fried seaweed noodle rolls, also known as Gim Mari (김말이) . Crispy on the outside, savory and juicy on the inside... a melt-in-your-mouth delight!

Today we're showing you how to make them at home using ingredients you can find at OKIDOKI Asian Market. This recipe was shared with us by @kims_korean_flavor_ , a true expert in authentic Korean flavors. Thank you for inspiring us with so much flavor!


🛒 Ingredients (for 2-3 people)

  • 250g sweet potato noodles (dangmyeon)

  • 1 tablespoon of sugar

  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce – we recommend the Korean Sempio

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil – the perfect aromatic touch

  • Ground black pepper to taste

  • Korean gimbap seaweed (gim) – not to be confused with Japanese nori seaweed

  • Rice paper – for that perfect crispy exterior

  • Oil for frying


👩🍳 Step-by-step preparation

  1. Cook the dangmyeon noodles according to the package instructions. Then rinse them with cold water and drain well.

  2. In a bowl, mix them with sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Make sure the noodles are well coated.

  3. Soak the rice paper in warm water until it is soft and manageable.

  4. Place a piece of gim seaweed on the paper, followed by a little of the noodle filling. Roll it carefully , making sure it's compact.

  5. In a pan with hot oil, fry the rolls until golden brown and crispy. Avoid letting them touch each other to prevent them from sticking.

  6. Ready! Serve with your favorite sauce: a mix of soy sauce, vinegar, and Korean chili flakes, or better yet… dip them directly into a bowl of tteokbokki.


💡 OKIDOKI Tip: If you want the flavor to be even more intense, add some chopped garlic or chives to the noodles before rolling them.
