KF 101(Korean food intro)-4 “Ssambob”

Hello~!

Today I will tell you the Ssambob! Ssambob (쌈밥) consists of Ssam and bob. Ssam is a wrap and bob is a rice or meal. Korea is the only country where people love to wrap the food with the big vegetables such as sesame leaf or lettuce or even mix with bunch of vegetables.
Let s take a look!

So there are many side dishes and soup and lots of veggies for ‘ssam’ and main menu such as Jeyuk bokkeum which is pork dish and some root called Deodeok which has an amazing scent.
So usually you put the leaf type of vegetable on your palm and put the main thing which is usually meat and put some more vegetables like seasoned green onion or other things and bit of rice. Now time to fold and wrap it with vegetable. And it goes to your mouth.
One thing you should know is that you should not put too much inside, or your mouth must be really huge.
Also make sure you clean your hand!

Many of this restaurant usually has its own small farm in the garden. So a lot of these restaurants are located in suburb. And yeah vegetables can be refilled!

You will feel a lot healthier after eating this meal!

Next time, I will tell you about ‘Galbi jjim’ which is beef rib stew. It is considered very premium food in Korea since it takes a lot of time and effort.
