Soft and Fragrant Summer Delight: Zucchini Leaf Wraps (Hobakip Ssam)
A Wholesome Meal Featuring Zucchini Leaf Wraps and Fresh Vegetables
Steamed zucchini leaves, when wrapped around a generous dollop of savory ssamjang (Korean dipping sauce), make for an exceptional summer side dish, don’t you think? On these hot days, simple yet satisfying meals are the best. This recipe was shared a while back. I also made a large batch of my snail ssamjang, which I keep in the fridge and enjoy with fresh chili peppers every day. Today’s meal was completed with steamed zucchini leaves, crisp carrots, and refreshing cucumber, all dipped in the ssamjang. It’s a simple yet incredibly healthy and delicious meal.
Main Ingredients
