📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Bossam is a traditional Korean dish of pork wrapped in leaves with kimchi and sauces; the name means 'wrapped.' Pork belly is boiled to render out excess fat, sliced, and wrapped in lettuce, napa cabbage, or perilla leaves. It's often eaten with garlic and salted seafood and is a standard at gatherings of family and friends.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a get-together, friends gather around a platter of sliced pork, kimchi, and greens and make their own wraps.
