Ssamjang (Korean dipping sauce: 쌈장)

The recipe is here: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/ssamjang I am introducing Ssamjang to you today, a kind of Korean dipping sauce. I ve posted ssamjang recipes in the past, always as a side dish for things like grilled beef (soegogi gui) and grilled pork belly (samgyeopsal gui), but the ratio can vary depending on your personal preference and mood. This is a special ratio for ssamjang that I think the most delicious so far. But it s your choice. If you don t want to make your ssamjang sweet, you can skip sugar, honey, or syrup or use less of it. You can also buy premade ssamjang in Korean grocery stores, but I guarantee this will be fresher and more delicious. It s best just after you make it, but you can store it in the fridge about 10 days, if you need to. As I show in the video, you can make a simple, light meal with ssamjang, lettuce, and rice. Wrapping some rice and ssamjang in a lettuce leaf and pop it into your mouth. Enjoy! : ) Ingredients: (4 servings) ¼ cup doenjang (fermented soy bean paste) 1 tbs gochujang (hot pepper paste) 1 stalk of minced green onion ¼ cup chopped onion 2 ts honey 2 ts toasted sesame seeds 2 ts sesame oil Directions: Use a spoon to mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Transfer it to a small bowl, and serve with rice and lettuce, or with meat BBQ.
