SPICY-SWEET KOREAN BARBECUE SAUCE (SSAMJANG)
Ssamjang, meaning "sauce for wraps" in Korean, has a wonderful combination of sweet, spicy and salty elements. It's like American barbecue sauce, which makes sense, as it's often used with grilled Korean specialties like bulgogi (marinated shaved beef), galbi (thinly sliced short ribs) and pork belly. Its main ingredient, doenjang, is a slow-fermented soybean paste that is similar to Japanese miso, providing the same rich umami flavor. Any Asian food market would stock multiple brands of doenjang; one of our favorite Korean cooking teachers, Emily Kim, a.k.a. Maangchi, advises simply, "Buy the most expensive one!"

SSAMJANG
At every Korean barbecue table there is always ssamjang: a salty, thick, savory paste that can be a dip for fresh chiles, carrots or cucumbers or spooned on top of barbecued meats wrapped in lettuce. At its simplest, ssamjang can be just a combination of fermented soy bean paste and gochujang or gochugaru. My version gets nuttiness from sesame seeds and bright flavor and crunch from fresh chiles.
