What is Ssamjang? The Heart of Korean BBQ
Ssamjang is a traditional, thick Korean paste with a uniquely complex flavor profile that combines the deep, earthy taste of fermented soybean paste (doenjang) with the sweet, spicy kick of red pepper paste (gochujang). Translated literally as “wrapping sauce,” it is the essential condiment used to tie all the rich flavors of Korean BBQ together. Maadan Ssamjang delivers a perfect harmony of savory umami, mild garlic notes, and a touch of sweetness, making it a must-have for anyone looking to bring the authentic taste of a Korean steakhouse right to their home kitchen.
Mess-Free, Easy Squeeze Bottle Design
Traditional ssamjang typically comes in rectangular plastic tubs that require a clean spoon for every single serving to avoid contamination—making tabletop dining messy and inconvenient. Maadan reimagines this classic condiment with our Easy Squeeze Tube. Now, you can apply a perfectly portioned dollop of savory paste directly onto your food with a simple squeeze. It keeps your kitchen counters spotless, prevents cross-contamination, is incredibly easy for kids to use, and packs away beautifully for outdoor grill sessions, picnics, or camping trips.
How to Make the Perfect K-BBQ Wrap (Ssam)
Enjoying ssam (Korean lettuce wraps) is an interactive and delicious dining ritual. To craft the perfect bite-sized wrap:
Step 1: Prep the Leaf: Start by placing a fresh, crisp, washed piece of lettuce (sangchu) or a perilla leaf flat in your palm.
Step 2: Add Your Protein: Layer a hot, juicy slice of freshly grilled beef, pork belly, or chicken directly into the center of the leaf.
Step 3: The Perfect Squeeze: Grab your Maadan Ssamjang squeeze bottle and add a perfect dollop right on top of the meat.
Step 4: Fold and Eat: Fold the leaf gently around the filling, tucking in the edges to form a secure, bite-sized parcel, and eat it in a single, flavorful bite.
