Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Thoroughly stir-frying the doenjang and gochujang in oil first removes any raw, pasty taste and brings out a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Freshwater snails and shrimp become tough if cooked too long, so add them at the final stage and cook only briefly.
  • The ssamjang thickens as it cools, so when removing from the heat, leave it slightly looser with a little liquid remaining.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a savory, appetite-boosting ssambap at home with fresh greens.
  • Those looking for a restaurant-style ureong ssamjang recipe that is not too salty and is rich in umami.
