In recent times, food prices in South Korea have been rising, and the average price per roll of the country's much-loved nori bao rice rose to 2,500 won (about 14 yuan) in April, which is really quite surprising. Because, in my opinion, purple cabbage buns are a bit expensive at $14. That's because they're cheap and easy to make, and because it's a snack-like food, so the price does seem high.
A, nori bun rice cost cheap
Nori bun rice main material has rice, nori, carrots, pickled papaya, meat floss, etc., are some common and cheaper ingredients, as long as a trip to the supermarket and vegetable market, you can easily buy the rice. They can be bought easily. Besides seaweed and rice, all the other ingredients are only needed in small quantities, so even if you put in a lot of rice, you can wrap a lot of them in one big pot. So it's fair to say that the cost of making a nori bun is actually quite low, and the price is naturally not that expensive. At least in my opinion, 14 dollars for a nori bun is a bit steep, and even for me, I wouldn't go for that expensive nori bun.
Two, nori bun rice production is very simple
In addition to the very low cost of materials, nori bun rice is actually very easy to produce, for the veteran, as long as the skillful approach to a few minutes to make a one, is not something with a high technical content of the food, even if it is a newcomer, after a few hours of serious study can be mastered. Even if you are a novice, you will be able to get the hang of it after a few hours of serious study, and even though it may not be that fast, it's not that hard to make it. So it's safe to say that nori bao rice doesn't cost much to make, so the $14 price tag does seem a bit steep to me.
In addition, in my opinion, nori bao rice is essentially just a snack, and since it is a snack the price naturally cannot be too expensive. Therefore, the price of 14 dollars is really a bit discouraging, if it were me, I personally will not go to buy. Overall, I think the price of 14 dollars of purple cabbage rice is indeed a bit expensive.
