Instructions
- If adding tofu, squeeze out excess liquid from tofu with your hands or by using cheesecloth. You don't need to remove liquid completely but just lightly enough so that it's not dripping liquid.
- Chop green onions, garlic, chili peppers.
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, taste and adjust by adding more tofu if too salty.
Notes
- Ssamjang can be stored in the refrigerator for weeks due to the high salt content of the bean pastes. And since usually only a small amount is consumed each time, store the remaining sauce and use it later.Other ideas – just cut up some fresh carrots, cucumbers and even green chili peppers and serve with ssamjang. It can be a great side dish to any meat dish.
