Whole Bo Ssäm Dinner for 8-10

The Bo Ssäm has been a menu mainstay since the early days of Momofuku Ssäm Bar. To make the Bo Ssäm, a pork shoulder is cured in salt and sugar overnight before being slowly roasted for 6 to 8 hours. All you have to do for the full Bo Ssäm experience is reheat it in your oven and coat it with the included brown sugar glaze. In the spirit of “ssäm,” which is Korean for “enclosed” or “wrapped,” you’re encouraged to use lettuce (not included) and Hawaiian buns to make wraps and sandwiches with Korean red pepper sauce and ginger scallion sauce. A fried rice kit is also included; toss in some kimchi or leftover pork shoulder!

Few chefs, and restaurants, have done more to influence restaurant dining in America over the past two decades than David Chang and his Momofuku. But what’s today a certified empire with restaurants around the world began way back in 2004, with the opening of Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York City. From then on Momofuku became synonymous with edgy, super-inventive spins on Asian cuisine in casual, minimalist dining rooms.

To Serve

Bo Ssäm

• Make sure the Bo Ssäm is no longer frozen. Unwrap the Bo Ssäm, and wrap it with aluminum foil.
• Allow the Bo Ssäm to come to room temperature for 60-90 minutes. Preheat oven to 325-350° F.
• Place on a roasting tray, in the center of the oven.
• Heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, checking the internal temperature after 30 minutes. Timing will differ with the type of oven you’ll be using.
• If using a meat thermometer, the temperature should read 165 – 180° F. If using a cake tester, it should feel warm to the touch.
• When ready, remove foil, raise the temperature to 425° F, and pour the glaze over the Bo Ssäm.
• Return to the oven, and check it every 3 minutes, spooning the glaze over the meat each time for a total of 4-5 times.
• To serve, use tongs to pull apart the Bo Ssäm and make lettuce wraps or sandwiches on the Hawaiian buns.
• Garnish with herbs, kimchi and sauces.

Simple Fried Rice

• Break up the cold rice so there are no clumps.
• Heat a non-stick skillet, cast-iron pan, or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
• Add some of the ginger scallion sauce to the pan and cook until fragrant.
• Add cold rice and stir to coat the rice in the ginger scallion sauce. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Using a spatula or spoon, make a well in the center of the pan.
• Beat one egg per person (not included) and add to the well, stirring until the eggs are just scrambled.
• Season with fried rice kit, using one tablespoon at a time until it’s to your liking.
