"Unlike typical mass produced Korean pantry items, Potluck’s gochujang and ssamjang are made in small batches in South Korea using traditional methods and contain no added preservatives or sugars, making them delicious and nutritious too." -Anna Haines, Forbes
HISTORY
Our products are made in small batches in Korea using traditional methods (think: cotton cloths, ceramic pots, and iron cauldrons). Fermentation, like all good things, takes time.
JANG 101
A jang 장 (gochu-jang, ssam-jang) is a sauce or paste made from fermented soybeans. Gochujang and ssamjang in particular define spiciness in Korean cuisine.
HOW TO USE
There’s no wrong way to use a jang. Add to anything that could use a punch of flavor, either straight from the jar or while cooking. Try either in rice bowls, add gochujang to bolognese or chicken wings, dip a cucumber in ssamjang – find what works for you.
WHY WE MADE THEM
The traditional way of making jangs at home has tapered off since the growth of mass market commercial production in the 1970s. While we’ve benefitted from the easy access and expansion of such businesses, we’re also losing the art and magic of natural Korean ingredients. Potluck is an invitation to learn about and try the highest quality jangs, made the way they were supposed to be.

I have used the paste straight from the jar but also as a great way to enhance other recipes! Add to chili or pulled pork or even beef stew! The paste is complex and a nice umami addition for your kitchen!
- CCherylVerified ReviewerReviewingGochujangI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoSuper Tasty Paste
While I did not grow up with these flavors I am finding that I enjoy this paste in many different ways! It is fast becoming “comfort” food especially with fried eggs and rice!
- JAJohn A.Verified ReviewerReviewingSsamjangI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoGreat flavor and an interesting experience
I’m more familiar with gochujang so the ssamjang is a little out of my comfort zone; but this is great! Salty and funky in the best way. Strongly recommend!

The flavor is outstanding and I love the packaging- discreet and stylish. Goes with everything without being too spicy, and has wonderful depth of flavor. Sweet, spicy and salty- can’t recommend it enough!
