Ssamjang is a thick, spicy paste used in Korean cuisine, where it complements meat dishes such as galbi and samgyeopsal. The sauce is made of doenjang and gochujang, as well as sesame oil, onion, garlic, and scallions.

The name derives from the words jang (meaning "paste" or "thick sauce") and ssam (meaning "food wrapped in a leaf"), hence "sauce for food wrapped in a leaf."[1]

  1. ^ Although leaf lettuce is the most typical wrapping for ssam, other leaves, such as perilla leaves, may also be used. Galbi is the most common form of ssam, but rice may also be wrapped in such a manner.
