If you’ve ever been to Korean bbq you know that have dipping sauces for your meats and vegetables. My favorite sauce that Korean bbq offers is Ssamjang!Ssamjang is a sauce that is mainly made of fermented korean chili paste (Gochujang) and fermented soybean paste (Doenjang).Here’s a recipe I learned from my mother in law!

When I was a child, my mother learnt how to make this sauce from someone. I have been using this sauce since then. My mother and I made this sauce with roughly measured amounts of ingredients, so our sauces taste different. I decided to create a recipe for this sauce for my children.If you keep a stock gochujangin your fridge, you can easily make chogochujang anytime. In Korea, this sauce is served with boiled trotters. You can keep this sauce in the fridge for about 1 month. You can make it in batches and use anytime. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

This was a recipe taught to me at the place I worked more than 10 years ago.This recipe works better if you use miso without dashi added. You have to constantly stir the sauce, so I think it is a good idea to make it when you have some spare time. The miso will splatter of the pot and stain your clothes, so I suggest wearing an apron!. Add more sesame oil if you prefer. Recipe by kenken mama

This recipe has been handed down in my family for generations . It's our secret sauce.I have enjoyed this flavor throughout my entire childhood.Just mix it up. Recipe by Aobucchan

According to my grandmother, when she used to run her yakiniku restaurant her sauce became famous, and big food manufacturers asked her several times to sell them her recipe...I'm not sure if that story was true. Whenever I serve this sauce to my friends, they ask "Wow! Where is this sauce from?" and that makes me proud.Commercial yakiniku sauce is surprisingly high in calories. I use artificial sweetener instead of sugar. This sauce is great for people following a low-carb or sugar restricted diet. You can omit the mirin and sake, but try to use a low-sugar sake. For a yakiniku (grilled meat/barbeque) party with 4 people. Recipe by Marie

I always thought it was a waste to throw away the green part of a leek, so I always make it into this leek-miso paste. It keeps in the refrigerator for about 10 days, and can be frozen too.The keys are to stir-fry with sesame oil and to add bonito flakes. I used pre-grated ginger and ra-yu spicy chili oil, but if you don't have them you can use finely chopped garlic and doubangjiang or finely chopped red chili pepper; stir-fry in the sesame oil, then add the leek later. It's easy and delicious! Recipe by Kouchan mama

My hubby loves red miso dengaku sauce... but I don't like the taste of readymade ones because they seem too harsh to me.Since we both love sesame seeds, I've used this recipe forever.I think this type of recipe already exists out there, but since everyone here loves it so much I uploaded it.Make sure not to over-reduce the sauce in Step 2. If you do and the sauce becomes too concentrated, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to thin it out. Recipe by *ai*

This chili pepper miso sauce with vinegar is a variation of the Korean "Chogochujang" sauce, which is often used for sashimi and seasoning for other dishes. I uploaded this recipe because when I combined the leftover sauce with some burdock, it came out really tasty. You can use the sauce with fresh or boiled vegetables, boiled meat (chicken or pork), or sashimi. It's really delicious and very convenient to make a lot so that you have it in stock.The main point is to thoroughly remove all of the water from the burdock after boiling. This recipe uses Korean brand powdered chili pepper, but if you can't get any, you can use ichimi chili pepper powder. But Japanese chili pepper is really spicy, so adjust it to taste. You can also adjust the amount of vinegar and sugar. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

This is Eirin Lee's super delicious all-purpose sauce! I rely on her recipes often, and since this was introduced on TV recently, I added some variation and posted it here.Be sure to add the sesame oil and the jam at the very end. Homemade yangnyeom ganjang will last for 2 weeks in the fridge. The ichimi chili powder determines the degree of spice. Korean red chili pepper is milder than the Japanese type, so you can use 3 times as much. Recipe by Sweet821

This is an all-purpose sauce that you can use for aubergine dengaku, Nagoya-style miso cutlets, oden hot pots or miso stewed udon noodles. Microwaving it gives it a shiny finish.Typically, the ingredients are slowly simmered in a small sauce pan over low heat until shiny. With this method, it will keep a long time, but it's easy to burn; microwaving is easier. Recipe by kebeibiko

My mom was hooked on celery sticks and used this as a dipping sauce.All ingredients are 1 tablespoon each, so the recipe is easy to remember. It goes well with stir-fries, pasta, and fish, too.I use light brown sugar. If you use caster sugar, it may be too sweet. Recipe by mama deko

This is a standard dish for my family during the summer.Both my son and daughter like to eat refreshing dishes, but mostly fish. We only use meat about 1-2 times in one week. We eat meat as a main dish several times a month but since thinly sliced boiled pork is light and refreshing, I mostly make that and just change the sauce.If the pork is boiled on high heat, it will become tough, so absolutely remember to lower the heat and cook the pork patiently. If you drain the water from the pork, the fatty parts will harden and leave a bad feeling in your mouth. It's annoying, but if you use some care, even cheap meat can be moist and tender when boiled.
