Bossam | Korean Boiled Pork Wraps

Maybe it’s the Korean in me, but I would have Bossam over steak, any day. I love wrapping the soft and tender pork in a crunchy cabbage leaf and topping it with some sweet and spicy radish kimchi. It’s absolutely one of my favorite dishes especially when paired with some soju & beer! It’s a dish that is sure to impress and is always a hit when I make this for family and friends. The best part is, it’s not difficult to make at all!

Serving size : 4

Ingredients:

Lettuce Wrap

• 1 head of Napa Cabbage

• 1/4 cup sea salt

Meat:

• 3 lbs thick cut pork belly (about 3 in, wide )

• 1 medium onion

• 2 TBSP soybean paste

• 10-15 cloves garlic

• 1 inch piece ginger sliced

• 1 TBSP whole peppercorns

• 1 cup brewed coffee

• 10 cups water

Directions:

For lettuce wraps, cut end of cabbage, quarter and separate leaves. Place leaves in large mixing bowl and cover with water. Add salt and let sit for 2-3 hours. Rinse through and Drain.

For Pork Belly, add all ingredients into large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium/low and simmer for 45 minutes.

Remove meat from heat and let sit for 5-7 minutes before cutting into thin slices,

Serve along with lettuce wraps and sides. (This dish also goes great with my Garlic Chive Kimchi recipe!)

Enjoy!
