This Man's Cook's Amazing Ssamjang

A homemade ssamjang with the spicy kick of green chili, refreshing crispness of onion, and rich nuttiness of peanuts—far more flavorful than store-bought versions.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding too much onion can dilute the sauce and make it watery, so stick to exactly 1/4 of an onion.
  • If peanuts are ground too finely, you lose the satisfying chew—crush them coarsely so they still offer noticeable texture.
  • Serve the finished ssamjang alongside grilled meat or fresh ssam vegetables for an irresistible flavor boost.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a special homemade condiment to pair with grilled meat or ssambap.
  • People who want to easily make a refreshing, nutty ssamjang without heat during summer.
  • Anyone looking to move beyond bland store-bought ssamjang and find a sauce with satisfying texture and depth.
