Bossam, some like it wrapped


When winter is approaching, Koreans prepare big portion of Kimchi, called Kimjang.

After the long day of hard work, the dinner is usually served with boiled pork to be served with cured cabbage and the stuffing of Kimchi. I don’t think it is tradition of all Korean families but it was at least for my family.

Therefore after the Kimchi preparation I thought of this dish, Bossam.
Ssam is a noun derived from a verb “to wrap”. Koreans like to wrap meat or fish with leafy vegetables. Pork meat is usually served with shrimp sauce and often wrapped with Kimchi.
