Bossam (Korean: 보쌈) is a pork dish in Korean cuisine. It usually consists of pork shoulder that is boiled in spices and thinly sliced.[1] The meat is served with side dishes such as spicy radish salad, sliced raw garlic, ssamjang (wrap sauce), saeu-jeot (salted shrimp), kimchi, and ssam (wrap) vegetables such as lettuce, kkaennip (perilla leaves), and inner leaves of a napa cabbage.[2][3]
Bossam is a popular dish in South Korea, often served as anju (i.e. food accompanying alcoholic drinks).[4] To eat, the meat and side dishes are wrapped together in ssam vegetables, hence the literal meaning of bossam: "wrapped" or "packaged".
