Thank you Min-Hee Choe Hill, Min-Hee Gardens for this wonderful recipe.As we learn more about Korean cuisine, the more we like it! Min-Hee and Damon grow the Korean red lettuce which is prefect for wraps — large, sturdy leaves that are still tender and tasty.

SsamJang
Ssam Jang is the special sauce that is used for Ssam Bap translates to ‘wrapped rice’ and the wrap can be anything from lettuce leaves to cabbage. But Ssam bap is most commonly eaten as some sort of protein (beef, chicken, pork) wrapped with rice and ssam jang (wrap sauce) in lettuce leaves. You can also dip in pepper or Garlic. Everyone has their own ideas about this condiment, so there’s a lot of variation. I like mine to be thick enough so it does not drip. If you prefer earthier flavors and less spice, then you can also reverse the amount of kochujang and daenjang in the recipe.
