Sunchang Samjang Soybean Paste, commonly known as Ssamjang, is a quintessential condiment in Korean cuisine. This fermented paste is crafted from a blend of soybeans and wheat flour, enriched with the savoury depth of sea salt. It’s a staple in Korean households, revered for its ability to add a rich, umami flavour to a variety of dishes.
The mild version of Ssamjang is particularly versatile, serving as a delightful dipping sauce for fresh vegetables or as a flavourful addition to wraps containing Galbi (grilled ribs), pork, and other meats. Its composition often includes a medley of ingredients such as wheat, soybean, and sometimes peanuts, catering to a palate that appreciates a balance of savoury and slight sweetness.
In terms of texture and taste, Ssamjang has a thick consistency and a complex profile that combines the nuttiness of roasted sesame with the subtle tang of fermented soybeans.
Whether used as a marinade, soup base, or standalone sauce, Samjang soybean paste is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Korea, offering a taste that is both traditional and timeless.
