Yamilssam

Norissam is a type of Nochtlican food consisting of various fillings, nearly always including meat and beans, enclosed within a tortilla wrapped or folded into a cylindrical shape.

Etymology
The word norissam (怒梨쌈) literally means "Nochtlico wraps" Jeongmian, due to how norissams are wraps and their association with Nochtlico in Jeongmi and in Jeongmian-speaking countries.

Haeson


Norissam first appeared in Haeseon in the early 1900s with Notchlico immigrants opening up Notchlico style restaurants in the southeastern states. Norissams were originally popular with laborers due to its ease of consumption with usually one hand but it quickly became a favorite for most of Haeseon with popular regional variants found in all over the country.

One common variant found in Haeseon-style Notchlican restaurants is the Jumo Norrisam. The Jumo Norrisam was made in Asadal, Habaek by a Notchlican-Haeseonin restaurant owner Pochtecatl Minho in 1932 when he was responding to a special order by a rushed laborer who wanted a nobulgamti (carne asada fries) but provided in a way that he can just eat with one hand. Pochtecati decided to wrap the flour tortilla around the chopped steak and onions, gamti (french fries), sour cream, shredded nak (cheese), and āhuacamolli (guacamole) and presented it to the laborer as the Jumo Norissam. The Jumo Norissam later became a hit around Jumo and in 1962, thirty years after its creation, Jumo Mayor Yoon Daeyoung declared it to be the "Food of Jumo."

Another common variant is the Urban Norissam which originated in Sinhapcheon, Sinseorae. The Urban Norissam is filled with beans, rice, chopped meats, and tomatoes and was commonly seen all over Haeseon usually in fast food Notchlico restaurants due to its low cost to create such wraps.

One of the most famous variant is the Fire Norissam which came from Taejo, Balnae in which spicy ingredients such as jalapeno peppers and hot sauces were added to a norissam filled with meat and nak and then covered with spicy mole sauce. It was created in 1952 by Notchlican-Haeseonin chef Yāōtl Damul who drenched an already spicy norissam with spicy mole sauce to serve Balnae celebrity and food critic Han Jun who wanted a wrap that provides a kick to his mouth. Han Jun declared that the norissam he just finished was one of the spiciest food he enjoyed. Yāōtl Damul called the wrap the Fire Norissam and was wealthy off of naming rights. In most Notchlican restaurants, customers can order the Fire Norissam with the spicy mole sauce covering the wrap or sent as a side sauce.

The rise of "fusion cuisines" made by chefs also lead to fusion norissams such as the Bratssam (wraps containing bratwursts) or the famous Daygani fusion Kebabssam, created by Daygani-Haeseonin chef Kalil Yul. Although "fusion" norissams are popular in Haeseon, they're usually found in immigrant heavy locations such as the west coast.

Jeongmi
Norissam found popularity among Nochtlican manual laborers imported to aid with labor shortages during the Eulhae War in the 1930s due to their ease of transport and consumption when working in the regimented factories of wartime Jeongmi. Despite much of the Nochtlican-Jeongmian community being deported following the high unemployment that came with the return of large masses of troops, norissams had found popularity among working class communities in large industrial cities such as Hapcheon, Dosan, and Yongin.

The 1940s and 1950s saw the influx of a large amount of refugees, mainly nohaes (ethnic Jeongmians living in Nochtlico), collaborators with the colonial regime, and others who feared the uncertainty and instability the period as Nochtlico tried and managed to obtain its independence from Jeongmi. It was during this period that norissam became seen as a mainstream dish, regularly and often consumed by Jeongmians for meals.

Hapcheon
Hapcheon is home to the largest Nochtlican community in Jeongmi, and it is easy to find several varieties of norissams, both authentic and heavily Jeongmianized.
