Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never use shrimp paste directly—it will be too salty. Rinsing thoroughly to reduce salt is essential.
  • When mixing seasonings, avoid crushing the chilies too hard, as this releases excess moisture and makes the mixture messy; instead, gently toss like mixing a salad.
  • Serve with steamed or boiled cabbage for a satisfying, non-greasy, healthy diet-friendly meal.

Recommended for

  • those looking to enjoy cabbage wraps more deliciously and healthily.
  • people seeking a non-salty, savory special ssamjang to pair with meat or ssambap.
