According to Koreans I know, seaweed rice or 김밥 (kimbap) is the official picnic food in Korea, and is apparently quite a popular dish even outside of Korea. You can consider them as quick-grab lamang tiyan because they are sliced into bite-size small rolls usually packed in a lunch box that you can carry anytime.
It is made from rice with various other ingredients rolled in sheets of dried laver seaweed. It looks like sushi except the fillings are different - no wasabi and raw fish in it. The most common kimbap is filled with meat, eggs, and various vegetables.
I had this platter earlier. Not sure if it looks aesthetically pleasing by Korean standard. It tasted good though.
