Ssam
Ssam are dishes in Korean cuisine where one food is wrapped in another. A common variety is meat such as pork wrapped in a leafy vegetable. It is often accompanied by the condiment ssamjang and can also be topped with raw or cooked garlic, onion, green pepper, or a banchan (small side dish) such as kimchi. Ssam is usually bite-sized to prevent spilling of the fillings. Under the Buddhist influence that was especially strong during the Kingdom of Goryeo, killing and eating an animal was highly discouraged. This has led to numerous Korean vegetable dishes, especially ssam, to be created and emerge as a prominent dish during the era. After its emergence, the dish was mentioned numerous times in ancient Korean records.
