쌈장 is a traditional Korean dipping sauce made primarily from doenjang (fermented soybean paste) and gochujang (red chili paste). It is often mixed with sesame oil, garlic, and sometimes sugar to enhance its flavor. This sauce is commonly served with ssam, which are wraps made from leafy vegetables like lettuce or perilla leaves, filled with various ingredients such as grilled meat or rice. The rich, savory taste of 쌈장 complements the freshness of the vegetables and the protein in the wraps. It is a staple in Korean cuisine, enjoyed for its ability to enhance the overall dining experience by adding depth and flavor to each bite.
