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!
