Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Leaf lettuce salad (Sangch'u kŏtjŏri); Cucumber salad (Oi saengch'ae); Chilled radish salad (Mu saengch'ae)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    We had a guest who doesn't like spicy food so went with this for Ssam. Was quite good and easy to do in a large pan indoors. Overall flavours were nice, but for those of us who want more punch you definitely want to serve with a spicy ssam sauce in your wrap. Overall pretty good and nice and light/lean.

    The variation with gochujang is fabulous and well worth making.
