What it is

Key ingredients
Pork skirt meat, salt, black pepper, sesame oil (for dipping or light seasoning)
Optional tweaks
Request plain grilled meat, seasoned only with salt and pepper. Avoid any pre-marinades or dipping sauces that contain sugar (e.g., sweetened ssamjang). Focus on fresh lettuce or perilla leaves for ssam (wraps) rather than rice.
