CJ- Seasoned Soybean Paste Ssamjang 500g

CJ Ssamjang (Seasoned Soybean Paste) is a popular, savory, and thick Korean condiment. Its name comes from the words ssam (wrap) and jang (paste), reflecting its primary use as a flavor enhancer for wraps.

• Flavor Profile: It offers a robust, "funky" umami depth derived from fermented soybean paste (doenjang), balanced by a subtle sweetness and mild heat from chili paste (gochujang). It also typically contains sesame oil, garlic, onion, and sugar, resulting in a complex, savory, and slightly salty taste.
• Texture: It is a thick, paste-like sauce, often slightly coarser than a smooth condiment due to the blended ingredients.
• Primary Uses:
  • Wraps (Ssam): It is essential for Korean lettuce wraps, usually applied to a piece of grilled meat (like pork belly/samgyeopsal) inside a lettuce or perilla leaf.
  • Dipping Sauce: It is an excellent dip for crisp, raw vegetables such as cucumbers, carrots, and chili peppers.
  • Meat Companion: It pairs perfectly with grilled meats, adding a necessary savory punch to cut through the fat of the meat.
