Description
Ssamjang is a fundamental, ready-to-eat Korean condiment that translates to "wrapping sauce" (ssam meaning "wrap" and jang meaning "paste"). It is a thick, complex paste with a rich, savory, and mildly spicy flavour profile, making it indispensable for Korean barbecue and vegetable wraps. Unlike its two main components, Doenjang (pure fermented soybean paste) and Gochujang (fermented red chili paste), Ssamjang is pre-seasoned and perfectly balanced for dipping straight out of the container. The distinctive green packaging often seen on 500g tubs is a common industry cue used by major brands to denote this specific, seasoned product.
