Did you know you can eat pumpkin leaves?

This dish is called Hobak-ip ssambap aka. wrapped rice in pumpkin leaves. I love its simplicity and think that it represents one of the basics of Korean cuisine and food culture. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do! 😍

Recipe:

1) Prepare the pumpkin leaves. Wash and remove the fiber from the backside of the leaves to make them soft. Watch out for your fingers, the leaves are quite hairy and have little spikes 😆

2) Set the leaves aside and start by dicing the vegetables. 1 onion, 1/3 zucchini, 3 mushrooms, 1 red & 1 green chili pepper.

3) In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp sesame oil, 6 tbsp Korean soybean paste, 2 tbsp Korean chili paste, and 1 tbsp of crushed garlic. Let it cook over medium heat while stirring for about 2 minutes. Then add the vegetables and cook again for 3 minutes. Add 200ml of water and let it simmer until thick.

4) Transfer the pumpkin leaves to a steamer or a pot and insert a sieve. Steam the leaves for 3 minutes under boiling water and turn them around. Steam again for 3 minutes and turn off the heat. Let sit for about 1 minute and take the leaves out to cool off to room temperature.

5) Serve the steamed leaves with the dipping sauce and rice. Wrap the rice in the pumpkin leaf and top off with the sauce. Enjoyyy!! 😘
