Ssambap Korean BBQ

Ssambap Korean BBQ: As the name implies, Ssambap means ‘wrap rice,’ which signals a carb-heavy focus. To adapt this for Keto, the diner must order the unmarinated BBQ meats (e.g., pork, beef) and strictly replace the rice with a generous portion of the provided lettuce/leafy wraps. The biggest challenge is Ssamjang (the accompanying sauce), which is traditionally sweet; ask for plain sesame oil, salt, and pepper instead, and confirm any accompanying stews (Jigae) do not contain glass noodles or rice cakes.
