Unleash the true essence of Korean cuisine in your kitchen with Master Kwon Ki-ok’s Ummal Ssamjang. This exquisite 500g jar holds a traditional Korean dipping and seasoning paste, meticulously crafted to bring an authentic, homemade flavor to your table. “Ummal,” meaning “mother’s,” perfectly encapsulates the comforting, time-honored taste of this ssamjang, blending savory soybean paste (doenjang) with spicy red pepper paste (gochujang) for a perfectly balanced and irresistible flavor profile.

Our Ssamjang is more than just a condiment; it’s a culinary journey. Master Kwon Ki-ok’s recipe ensures a deep, rich umami taste that enhances a wide array of dishes. It’s the secret ingredient that elevates ordinary meals into extraordinary Korean feasts, embodying generations of culinary tradition.

Versatile Culinary Uses for Your Kitchen

Master Kwon Ki-ok’s Ummal Ssamjang is an indispensable staple for any Korean food enthusiast, offering incredible versatility:

  • The Perfect Korean BBQ Companion: Essential for wrapping grilled meats like Samgyeopsal (pork belly) or Galbi (marinated ribs) in fresh lettuce or perilla leaves. A dollop of ssamjang completes the traditional “ssam” experience.
  • Elevate Your Bibimbap: Stir a generous spoonful into your favorite bibimbap (mixed rice with vegetables and meat) for a burst of savory, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor that ties all ingredients together.
  • Healthy Vegetable Dip: A delicious and robust dip for fresh raw vegetables such as cucumber, carrots, bell peppers, or celery, adding an authentic Korean kick to your snacks.
  • Flavorful Marinade: Incorporate into marinades for meats or tofu to infuse them with complex Korean flavors.
  • Simple Meal Enhancer: Quickly transform plain rice or noodle dishes into exciting meals with just a spoonful.

Premium Ingredients for Superior Taste

Crafted with care, our Ssamjang uses high-quality, traditional Korean ingredients:

  • Beans: The foundation for the rich, fermented soybean paste.
  • Sea Salt: Crucial for the fermentation process and depth of flavor.
  • Glutinous Rice: Adds a subtle sweetness and smooth texture.
  • Red Pepper Powder: Provides the iconic Korean spicy kick.
  • Malt: Contributes to the unique fermented taste.
  • Garlic: Infuses aromatic complexity and pungency.

    عند تجربتي لـ Ummal Ssamjang من ماستر كوان كي-أوك، كنت مذهولًا بمزيج النكهات. هذه المعجون اللذيذ جلب لهجة شرقية مختلفة إلى عشاء بسيط.

  2. Алексей – Казан –

    Ссоционция приятно удивила. Запах настоящей корейской кухни моментально наполнил кухню. Стеклянная банка аккуратно закрыта, сохраняя свежесть. Дополнила блюда очень гармонично и вкусно. Уверен, что куплю еще.

  3. نور الدين حسن from طرابلس, ليبيا –

    مرة من المرات جربت الصلصة الشهية هذه ‘أمل سسّمجانج’ كجزء من طبق خاص. دهنة السمسم ونكهة الفلفل أضفت الحياة لرزتي وخلطتها بالتونة والمكونات الطازجة زي النعناع والبصل والخضر الحارة كانت وصفة نجمة الليلة! صح، التوابل تجمع بين طعم ملوحة اللحم وقرمشة الخضار والفواكه وهذا أمر صعب تلاقيه في العادة… أكيد هم حاجتهم بتحاول تجيب نفس الأحساس؟ استعد للعشق يالمقادير السريعة؛ بالنسبة لي كل واحدة إضافية مثل إضافة لمسة فنية على لوحة الجياع!

  4. Chloé Martineau from Paris, France –

    Une symphonie de saveurs! La pâte de soja mélangée à la douceur du piment réveille le palais. Parfaite pour relever mes plats maison avec audace.
