Description

Ssamjang is a traditional Korean dipping sauce, typically served with grilled meats and lettuce wraps. This creamy variation adds a velvety twist with the addition of mayonnaise or sour cream, making it even more indulgent and versatile.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp doenjang (Korean soybean paste)
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey (or sugar)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional, for a tangy touch)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or sour cream (for creaminess)
  • Water (as needed, for thinning)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base Ingredients:
    • In a bowl, combine the doenjang, gochujang, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar. Stir until well blended and smooth.
  2. Add the Creamy Element:
    • Stir in the mayonnaise or sour cream, mixing thoroughly to create a creamy texture. Add 1-2 teaspoons of water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  3. Incorporate the Aromatics:
    • Fold in the minced garlic, chopped green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
  4. Adjust to Taste:
    • Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness, spiciness, or tanginess to your preference by adding more honey, gochujang, or rice vinegar.
  5. Serve:
    • Transfer to a small serving bowl and garnish with extra sesame seeds or green onions if desired. Serve with grilled meats, lettuce wraps, or as a dipping sauce for vegetables.

Notes

  • Customizable: Adjust the creaminess by varying the amount of mayonnaise or sour cream.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Make it Vegan: Use plant-based mayonnaise for a vegan version of this sauce.
