A simple, healthy ssamjang made without fire, using store-bought soybean paste and gochujang mixed with canned tuna and mashed tofu to reduce saltiness.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Homemade soybean paste may be too salty, so we recommend using store-bought versions.
  • Be sure to fully remove moisture from the tofu; otherwise, water will form over time, making the sauce diluted.
  • Using onions instead of green onion increases moisture, so green onion is better if you plan to store the ssamjang for longer.

Recommended for

  • People who want to quickly make a delicious side dish without standing near the stove, especially in hot weather.
  • Those looking to reduce the strong saltiness of traditional ssamjang for a lighter, healthier taste.
  • Anyone wanting a nutrient-rich homemade sauce to enjoy with fresh lettuce wraps.
