Making Bossam at Home (Korean Steamed Pork)

As the old saying goes food always tastes better if you’ve made it yourself. So with that in mind and with a little help from a simple pack of spices we made some delicious Bossam (Korean Steamed Pork) or 보쌈. It turned out to be a pretty simple to both prepare and cook. Basically you add pork, vegetables, spices, seasoning and a simple sauce all into a rice cooker and cook for around 40mins. Cut when slightly cooled and enjoy. We enjoy it with a mixture of lettuce and cabbage leaves plus a few sauces, but it can also be eaten with rice or basically anything you like.
