Description
Ssam (literally “wrap” in Korean) is a popular way of eating in Korea where you place rice, meat, and condiments inside a leafy vegetable or seaweed, wrap it up, and eat it in one bite.
Common wrap ingredients include lettuce, perilla leaves, napa cabbage, or dried seaweed. Inside the wrap, you might add grilled meat (like Korean BBQ), rice, kimchi, garlic, chili peppers, and sauces such as ssamjang (a savory mix of soybean paste, chili paste, garlic, and sesame oil).
Ssam is often enjoyed during Korean BBQ meals. You grill the meat, place it on a leaf with rice and toppings, wrap it tightly, and eat it in one mouthful. It’s considered both delicious and healthy because it balances protein, vegetables, and flavorful condiments.
Think of it as a Korean-style lettuce wrap that combines fresh vegetables, savory meat, and bold flavors all in a single bite.
