Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The oil from the canned tuna is a key ingredient that enhances the flavor and richness of the paste, so do not discard it and be sure to stir-fry it together.
  • If the heat is too high when stir-frying the paste, the surface can easily burn, so be sure to maintain medium-low heat and stir continuously.
  • Once cooled, store the finished ssamjang in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay fresh for at least a month.
  • If you don't have wok hei oil, you can omit it, but adding it gives a special taste reminiscent of eating charcoal-grilled meat at an outdoor campsite.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a special and unique homemade ssamjang to accompany grilled meat or ssambap.
  • Those who want to become a hero at the campsite with a simple touch instead of common store-bought ssamjang.
  • Those looking for a surefire rice thief to mix into hot white rice when they have no appetite.
