Sunchang Spicy Korean Ssamjang Paste 500g

Ssamjang is one of the most homely and enjoyable sauces in Korean cuisine. It's the paste you put in the center of the table when eating grilled meat, fresh vegetables, rice, and lettuce leaves, and everyone builds themselves a small, seasoned, and flavorful bite.

Chung Jung One's version combines the depth of fermented soybeans with a subtle spiciness, a slight sweetness, and a seasoning that immediately feels Korean. It works great as is, as a dip for vegetables, a small spoonful in a lettuce leaf with rice and protein, or as an addition that adds more umami to stir-fries, noodles, rice bowls, and seared tofu.

Tips
For a quick Korean bite, take a lettuce leaf, add hot rice, a crispy vegetable, protein or tofu, and a small spoon of Ssamjang. You can also mix it with a little sesame oil, crushed garlic, and rice vinegar for a softer dip, or dilute it with a little hot water for a quick noodle sauce.
