Ssambap, a staple dish in many Korean kitchens, is made by wrapping pieces of seasoned grilled meat—marinated chicken, in this case—in lettuce leaves along with rice and pickled veggie condiments, like kimchi. Topping it off is a delectable sauce called ssamjang, a spicy-salty-sweet blend of pepper paste (gochujang), soybean paste (doenjang), sesame seeds, grated garlic, and a touch of brown sugar.
