Today I’m back with three very quick, fresh and super successful ideas for assembling lettuce leaves in Korean ssam style. Nut butters provide the star flavor: they deliver creaminess, flavor, and a nutrient-dense texture that transforms a simple bite into something… shocking! I have used the Natuvid brand and they are 100% natural, gluten-free, no added sugar. They have a wide variety of products (cashew, almond, hazelnut, peanut, pistachio…just to name a few) and you can purchase their nut butters on their website.
Ingredients for 12 ssams (4 of each flavor)
- 12 large, firm lettuce leaves.
- 1. Mediterranean Sam
- 200 g cooked chickpeas, drained.
- 1 medium carrot, grated.
- 10-12 cherry tomatoes, quartered (or 1 tomato diced).
- 2 tablespoons Natuvid Cashew Cream.
- 1-2 tablespoons water (to adjust texture).
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
- salt and pepper.
- 1. Mediterranean Sam
-
- 2. Sam Tee
- 100g of shiitake mushrooms (or whatever you have), drizzle in oil and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- 1/2 cucumber, cut into thin strips.
- 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded.
- 2 tablespoons Natuvid peanut, cashew, almond and hazelnut butter.
- 1-2 teaspoons soy sauce.
- 1-2 teaspoons lime juice.
- 1-2 tablespoons water (salted).
- Chopped fresh cilantro.
- 2. Sam Tee
-
- 3. Pistachio Cream Rice Filling
- 1/2 crisp apple (green apple type), diced.
- 4 fresh figs, sliced (or dried and chopped).
- 50g crumbled feta cheese.
- 2 tablespoons Natuvid Pistachio Cream.
- 3. Pistachio Cream Rice Filling
Preparation, how to make rice dumplings with 3 fillings and nut cream
- Wash, dry and reserve the whole lettuce leaves. The drier it is, the crispier it will be.
- Open the jar of nut butters and you’ll notice that since they are 100% natural, oil separation is normal. Mix well with a spoon until it has a smooth, creamy texture.
sam mediterranean
- In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with the grated carrots and quartered cherry tomatoes.
- In another container, combine cashew cream, lemon, evaporated water, salt, and pepper. It should resemble a creamy vinaigrette.
- Pour over a bowl and mix. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon.
Samtai
- Briefly sauté the mushrooms in a little oil and salt and allow to cool.
- In a bowl, combine the nut cream with the soy, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a little water until it forms a shiny, creamy sauce.
- Add mushrooms, peeled and sliced cucumbers, and chopped red cabbage to the bowl. Add sauce and mix.
Sam Cuisine
- Place peeled and diced apples, peeled and diced figs, and diced feta cheese in a bowl.
Install
- Place the opened lettuce leaves on a plate.
- Fill with 2-3 tablespoons of each mixture.
- Top it off with the toppings: a little chopped chives for a Mediterranean twist, extra cilantro for a Thai twist and gourmet pistachio cream.
- And serve directly. Eat with your hands, folding the leaves like a “boat.”
Enjoy and taste the Korean style baogan with nut cream
Just like that, they went straight to the table and folded the lettuce leaves into small boats with their hands to eat. Enjoy the spectacular contrast of every texture and flavor, they are authentic…shocking!
Variations for each type of lettuce
- Mediterranean: Add chopped cucumber or olives, or fresh herbs like parsley or mint.
- Thailand: Swap mushrooms for golden tofu or hera. Add grated ginger or spicy Sriracha sauce.
- Gourmet: Substitute grapes or pears for figs. Swap the feta cheese for soft goat cheese. Add arugula for an extra green touch.
Tips for these salad ssam
- If you have leftover mixture, you can keep it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, and always put only the mixture on top of the lettuce that you want to eat immediately.
- If the dressing is a little thick, don’t be afraid to add water and mix until you reach the desired texture.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
