Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup gochujang
  • 1/3 cup daenjang
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 small sweet onion, minced
  • 1 green chile, like Korean or jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons rice cooking wine
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk all of the ingredients until well combined. Season with black pepper.
  • Depending on the type of gochujang and daenjang you use, your ssamjang may be too thick. If so, add a little water or extra sesame oil to thin it out.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
