Saeujeot (새우젓) – Shrimp Sauce

Jump to Recipe for Saeujeot (새우젓) - Shrimp Sauce

As I was making my jokbal, I realized that I needed to make its accompanying dipping sauce! Saeujeot is a crucial component to many kinds of ssam (쌈 – wrap), like bo ssam (보쌈 – simmered pork belly, or other cuts of pork, wrapped with lettuce) and jokbal (족발 – braised pork trotters). It’s excellent with the garlic and sesame oil, boosting its flavor.

*Bunny Wisdom*

  • You can find the salted fermented shrimp in many Asian supermarkets. Try to find something that is made with just salt and shrimp, and not have additional ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice.
  • This seasoned sauce can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week. The shrimp sauce on its own can be kept for many months in the refrigerator. Use it to flavor many different kinds of kimchi!
