Ssamjang (Mixed Bean Paste)
Mixed Bean Paste (Ssamjang) is a thick, dark reddish brown paste with a rich, roasted soybean aroma and a gentle fermented tang. It’s sweet and savoury, with a pleasant, mild heat and deep umami flavour. Our Innovation chef recommends it for adding depth to plant-based dishes, especially with tempeh, tofu, noodles, seaweeds and meat alternatives.
This paste is a blend of doenjang (soy bean paste) and gochujang, offering a balanced flavour that sits between sweet fermented heat and rich umami. It contains peanuts for extra nuttiness and a satisfying texture. The thick, spreadable consistency makes it perfect for marinades, dipping sauces or as a flavour boost in stir-fries.
Ideal for Korean BBQ menus, it’s especially good for chefs looking for a milder heat profile than gochujang. Try it in Ssamjang fried tempeh with radish kimchi and steamed rice, or use it to bring sweet and savoury depth to your favourite plant-based creations.
Authentic and versatile, Mixed Bean Paste (Ssamjang) is a must-have for kitchens wanting to explore Korean flavours with ease.
