Ssamjang (쌈장) – Wrap Sauce

Jump to Recipe for Ssamjang (쌈장) - Wrap Sauce

Much like saeujeot, ssamjang is equally important in bringing bo ssam (보쌈 – simmered pork belly, or other cuts of pork, wrapped with lettuce) and jokbal (족발 – braised pork trotters) together. I call it the happy trinity: shrimp sauce, wrap sauce, and lettuce wraps! Each of these components bring you that much closer to having a delicious dinner with your protein of choice!

*Bunny Wisdom*

  • You can find both pastes in Asian supermarkets. They also sell ssamjang already mixed in a tub, though I have to say that I like to make my own! 🙂
  • The hot water helps to thin the paste. The end product should allow you to scoop a little bit of the sauce with a pair of chopsticks, and not have the sauce slide off the end. Start out with 1t of hot water, and add more as needed.
