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.

It's hard to go back to other pepper-based sauces in my fridge now that I have this, it's the perfect dollop for almost any rice or grain-based meal. I bought 4 more after getting my 1st jar.

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!

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!
- AHAdrian H.Verified BuyerReviewingSsamjangI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoTry as a soup base!
It might sound funny, but I really like this for fixing up a quick soup: mix with hot water and scoop in a some silken tofu, and done!
