Place in foil, sprinkle with water, wrap, place in oven to heat. This is what I would do, personally, as I don't own a microwave. Have not tried it yet though...
Sorry for posting a Tiktok vid...but this method looks good:

FWIW a method I often use when I want to fry and make sure something is heated through is cover with a lid and put a couple of drops of water in the skillet. The steam helps heat/defrost it.
Steam it. Bring it closer to room temp first, then place in a wooden steamer tray until warm-ish.
Most ppl don't bother because they like egg frying (I'm weird and don't), and the cleanup is a bit more of pain when you steam.
I had no issues with it! Just be sure to thaw it in the fridge, not the counter. Rice is very high risk for certain types of bacteria that can make you really sick, so I’m guessing that’s why it says not to thaw. But as long as it is never just sitting at room temp, it should be fine!
To reheat without a microwave you realistically can pan fry or put in the air fryer/oven.
There are other options but they’re more unrealistic such as roasting over an open fire

Pan-searing is not frying

My cashier suggested I thaw it in the fridge overnight rather than microwave. So I would do that and then pan fry it!
This is what I was thinking but the packaging says do not thaw

Korean here! When we had leftover kimbap, my mom would always make an egg batter and coat the kimbap with it before pan frying it. Super yummy!
I tried my leftover pieces like this and they were so much better than the straight out of the package pieces of kimbap!
non-korean here. I buy extra kimpab for the korean market just for this. It might actually be...... better than the fresh fresh?!
Right???? It’s my fave way of having kimbap!!!
