As a Korean person growing up eating this type of food, I think they really nailed down this recipe in terms of using traditional Korean flavors and getting it right. I also love the end part because Korean food is meant to be communal and meant to be shared and I think BA caught that vibe really well 💕

For any non-Koreans out there interested in the recipe, you can also find pre-sliced pork shoulder steaks in many Korean supermarkets and butcher shops!

*in interview* “So what makes you want to work for Bon Appétit?” Me: 12:00

Chris getting getting washed over by a straight-up spiritual experience on camera is now my go-to mood lifter clip. Things just got real up in the BA test kitchen.

that end part was so cute and very accurate to the communal culture of korean cuisine, good job BA!

Chris fell in love with that ssam. He didn't even hesitate to ask for a second helping.

Chris isn’t making his classic assessment statements, it’s so good he is just savoring it. Love it. Pork shoulder it’s one of the cuts in spam hee hee

As an avid fan of this channel and a korean, i cannot be any happier to see this recipe, especially since it is so spot on with the ingredients. And that last touch with people sharing and mingling, thats the korean spirt!

I don't know what the editors are paid, but its not enough. That organ bit has me in tears. Thanks again.

I love how she gave credit when credit was due, BUT most of all I love how she had fun with it and for real talked about and did end up sharing it cause that is such a key thing with just food culture globally.

You know it's good when you just had this two nights ago...at home...with a load of perilla leaves and water parsley...with an aged ssamjang sauce...that your mum, the Korean Goddess of Sauce made... On a separate note, I just have to praise Carla because she always knows what's up. Sometimes people forget about the sesame oil and salt sauce when a ssam party is mentioned, but it is SO important. SO IMPORTANT. Also the part where Carla takes off the end of the stalk(?) reminds me of my mum. Get the perilla leaves, people, I promise it's worth the effort to find them.

The way this video ended is just...so happy and satisfying

BA vid's have a culture of their own that I love.

What I love about this is that my step sisters husband is Korean and we eat at there home all the time, and we eat this a lot, and it never gets old, so many things you can do with sauces its just so good.

I got my tonsils taken out a week ago, and I’ve been struggling since I can’t eat any food! I’ve been watching all of bon appétit’s videos... I literally mean ALL videos. So thank you for making all the great videos that help my recovery go by a little quicker! Love you BA!

YOU GOTTA EAT IT IN ONE BITE GUYS. THAT IS LITERALLY THE ONLY RULE OF SSAM.

I've been making these for a while now. They're so great on the grill, really surprising in flavor, and they absorb whatever marinades or sauces you can toss at them. Great recipe here.

I feel like the last two minutes of this video are what food is all about: Carla made something delicious and the whole office was just full of joy chowing down on this big ol' spread of amazing food.

I am so glad Carla pronounced Gochujang and Deonjang right. Technically the sauce is called Ssamjang. You can buy it mixed already and add the other ingredients. It is especially good with pork belly wraps.

I made this recipe the day it was posted. I’d never tried pork shoulder on the grill and now it’s my go-to. The flavor is spot on except I thought it lacked salt - there is none in the marinade. You can add it as a condiment like in the video, but if you want the meat to stand on it’s own, it needs salt. The leftover meat makes an amazing rice bowl.

Sees title: Come on give me some Morocco in the back. Video starts: 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

“Take ‘em to church” music really hit the spot

I love her attitude and her in depth explanations

Carla with her hair up is A SUMMER MOOD. what a doll

Fantastic editing. Ending was hilarious.

These wraps are the best thing ever!! Makes you feel full very quick too! The garlic are a must but u can literally just put any meat in there with a bit of any savory sauce, bit of rice, u can put anything that u think tastes well together put it in a romaine lettuce, wrap it and eat the whole wrap in one go! Ugh, makes me crave one now!!

love that Korean food is getting recognized - grew up eating ssam (lettuce wraps) and hearing Carla, whom I adore, talking about gochujang, doenjang, ssamjang (the dipping sauce)... 🤯🤩🥰 just blows my mind!!!!

Shout out to the video producers and editors for this amazingly seasoned and lively video!

Carla: I feel like I’m supposed to give this to someone... Tommy: **starts listing people behind Carla** Also Carla: but I’m not goin- *eats wrap* 😂😂😂

11:36 I wish I felt as happy about anything as Chris does in this moment.

The best ssam is eaten in one bite. 한입만!

Me: oooh a Carla video **click!** ~sees first 40 seconds~ My stomach: *feed me this instant*

Omg we see the genius behind the editing of It’s Alive!! Plus I badly want to try thiiis

The atmosphere of the test kitchen is like my dream workplace. Food and friends.

My FIL is always bringing me gigantic pork butts from the base exchange and I usually just slow roast them on the grill for chopped sandwiches. The next one is getting sliced up for this recipe. I'll report back soon. I bet Maangchi would love this! ❤️💕

You can sub in a sweet soju for the sake, easily. I've even heard of some using makgeolli in their marinade, but that's tough to find where I'm at.

Watching those two eat was the best part of my day

Carla eating the first ssam is everything. Andy' look of disgust/eyeroll at everyone at 12:30 is also everything.
