A premium all-purpose ssamjang made by generously mixing hairtail jeotgal with minced garlic, cheongyang chili pepper, and nutty sesame oil to perfectly eliminate any fishy smell.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The spicy cheongyang chili pepper effectively blocks the strong fishy smell characteristic of hairtail jeotgal, so it's best not to omit it.
  • After finishing, let it rest in the refrigerator for about half a day so the garlic and chili pepper aromas infuse into the jeotgal, resulting in a smoother and deeper flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a salty, deeply savory ssamjang based on jeotgal instead of regular ssamjang.
  • Those who want to recreate the atmosphere of a Jeju black pork specialty restaurant when grilling pork belly at home.
