SPICY-SWEET KOREAN BARBECUE SAUCE (SSAMJANG)



Spicy-Sweet Korean Barbecue Sauce (Ssamjang) image

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!"

HOMEMADE SWEET AND SPICY BARBECUE SAUCE



Homemade Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Sauce image

I have made this for years, with a little tweak here and there and finally think I have it perfected. It has just enough bite from the vinegar, but a subtle sweetness too. I make quadruple batches and store it in old mayo jars in my garage fridge for quick meals. The longer you simmer it, the better it gets!
