Ingredients needed 5 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using a less salty store-bought traditional doenjang makes it easier to adjust the seasoning.
  • Starch syrup adds sweetness and gives the ssamjang a thick, sticky consistency.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a hearty meal with lettuce wraps and rice on days when suitable side dishes are scarce.
  • Those who want to make an all-purpose bibim sauce with a deep, meaty flavor that fills the mouth without stir-frying any meat.
