Ssam
Ssam is a Korean dish that typically consists of grilled meat, vegetables, and rice wrapped in a lettuce or other leaf. It is usually served as a main course, but can also be served as an appetizer or side dish.
The history of ssam recipes can be traced back to ancient times, when the dish was first mentioned in Korean literature. The first recorded ssam recipe appeared in the 14th century cookbook, Joseon yorije, which contained instructions for wrapping grilled meats in lettuce leaves.
Since then, ssam has evolved into many different forms, with different ingredients and methods of preparation. Today, there are countless ssam recipes, each with its own unique flavor and personality. Whether it’s made with grilled chicken, pork, beef, or tofu, ssam is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a meal.
