Ssamjang is a popular Korean dipping sauce made primarily from a blend of doenjang (fermented soybean paste) and gochujang (Korean red chili paste). It is often mixed with ingredients like sesame oil, garlic, and green onions to enhance its flavor. Ssamjang is commonly served with grilled meats, particularly during Korean barbecue meals, where it complements the rich flavors of the meat.
This sauce is not only flavorful but also nutritious, as it contains protein from the soybean paste and various vitamins from the added ingredients. Ssamjang is typically used as a condiment for wrapping grilled meat in lettuce leaves, creating a delicious and satisfying bite.
