Gimbap (김밥) is a Korean dish made from cooked rice and other ingredients that are rolled in gim—dried sheets of nori seaweed—and served in bite-sized slices. The dish is often part of a packed meal, or dosirak, to be eaten at picnics and outdoor events, and can serve as a light lunch along with danmuji (yellow pickled radish) and kimchi. It is a popular take-out food in South Korea and abroad, and is known as a convenient food because of its portability. It is usually well wrapped (traditionally with aluminium foil, but now sometimes in paper) and does not have any liquid ingredients.

Originally from China, these long, yellow, egg noodles are the main ingredient in ramen; a dish so popular in Japan that there are museums dedicated to it. Japanese ramen noodle soup consists of a huge bowl filled with a broth (which is typically seasoned with salt, soy sauce, ramen, and/or tonkotsu pork bone stock) and ramen noodles, then topped with assorted meat, protein, and vegetable garnishes.
