About Bo ssam

Bo Ssam is a traditional Korean dish centered around slow-roasted pork shoulder, typically served with an array of accompaniments like steamed white rice, fresh lettuce leaves, kimchi, and flavorful sauces such as ssamjang (a fermented soybean and chili paste mix) or ginger-scallion sauce. The pork is often marinated with sugar and salt, resulting in tender, caramelized meat. Bo Ssam offers a balance of savory richness from the pork and refreshing, crisp vegetables, making it an engaging hands-on meal. While the dish is protein-rich, it can be high in sodium and fat depending on preparation and portion size. Adding fiber-rich vegetables and leafy greens can enhance its nutritional value, and pairing smaller servings of pork with a variety of fresh sides ensures a more balanced meal. Bo Ssam embodies the communal, shareable spirit of Korean cuisine.
