Ssambap is a country style Korean food. Just picked from the farm, freshest lettuces and the leaves of all kinds are always available in the country. Many city people go to the Ssambap restaurant to comfort their nostalgic country mouse childhood memories. Ssambap is very easy to put together. Get a varieties of leafy lettuces, cabbages, perilla leaves, pumpkin leaves, thin sea kelps. Most of them can be eaten fresh and some (cabbage and pumpkin leaves) are steamed. Serve your Ssambap with multi-grain rice rather than white rice. It just taste better and healthier. There are many different types of topping sauce you can serve with; meat, fish, tofu, mushroom, or just plain. Today I will show you one of my favorite topping that is very easy and inexpensive to make. The taste? You better try yourself to believe. If you like the rustic Korean flavored dishes like doenjang stew and fish, you will love this. I guarantee. Get any assorted lettuce and variety of edible leaves you like. I added Perilla leaves and cabbage leaves. Boil cabbage leaves for 4 minutes and drain. Chill with lettuces.
