20260414_Cooking Class: 두부 강된장 쌈밥

Itaewon Global Village Center, together with Korean Food Promotion Institute, is hosting a Korean cooking class on April 14th (Tues) from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at Hansik Space Eum (near Anguk Station). This time we will learn how to make Dubu Gangdoenjang Ssambap (Tofu Soybean Paste Rice Rolls).

Dubu Gangdoenjang Ssambap (두부 강된장 쌈밥) is a traditional Korean dish centered around rice wrapped in fresh leafy vegetables (such as lettuce or perilla leaves) and paired with a rich, thick soybean paste stew known as gangdoenjang. In this version, soft tofu (dubu) is added to the savory paste, enhancing both its texture and nutritional value. The dish is typically enjoyed by assembling bite-sized wraps (ssam) with rice, tofu-infused doenjang, and optional vegetables or side dishes.

From a health perspective, Dubu Gangdoenjang Ssambap is well-balanced and nutrient-dense. Tofu provides high-quality plant-based protein and essential amino acids, while fermented soybean paste (doenjang) contains probiotics that may support gut health. The abundance of fresh vegetables adds dietary fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, which contribute to improved digestion and overall well-being. Additionally, because the dish relies more on natural, minimally processed ingredients and less on heavy oils, it can be a wholesome option for those seeking a nutritious and satisfying meal.
