Ssäm is a classic korean dish meaning 'wrap', popularised by David Chang with his Momofuku ssäm bar in New York. At the ssäm bar you can order a whole pork shoulder for 6-10 people the day before.
Instead of a whole pork shoulder, this recipe is for bulgogi beef ssäm - the most popular in Korea. Because the meat is sliced so finely and marinated, more economical cuts can be used and it takes just minutes to cook just before serving. Alternatively, replace the beef with tofu. Ssämjang - literally 'ssäm paste' adds a beautiful fermented depth and slight chilli warmth to make the dish unforgettable.
