Ssam means 'wrapped'. Ssamjang is the sauce that goes into each wrap of lettuce, meat, rice and garlic when eating Korean barbecue.
A savoury, spicy Korean dipping paste of doenjang and gochujang. For wrapping in lettuce with grilled meat.
Mix the doenjang and gochujang together in a small bowl.
Add the sesame oil, garlic, spring onion, sesame seeds, honey and vinegar.
Stir in a teaspoon of water to loosen the paste if needed.
Serve with lettuce leaves, perilla leaves and grilled pork belly or beef. Keeps for a week in the fridge.
Doenjang is salty and pungent, so start with less and balance with honey and sesame oil.
