Ssam (or “wrapped”, in Korean) is a Korean dish that traditionally involves a leafy vegetable wrapped around a meat filling. The essential ingredient here is ssamjang, a spicy bean paste, which is often accompanied with rice, onion, and other cooked veggies. In this version, the central pork belly is swapped for seared tofu and eggplant.
