It can also be used as a component of soup broth, for example in a popular stew (jjigae) called doenjang jjigae which usually includes tofu, various vegetables such as chile peppers, zucchini and welsh onion, and (optionally) mushrooms, red meat, or scallops.
Gochujang is a savory and pungent fermented Korean condiment, a kind of hot sauce. Traditionally, it has been naturally fermented over years in large earthen pots outdoors, more often on an elevated stone platform, called jangdokdae (장독대) in the backyard.
Ssamjang is a thick, spicy paste used in Korean cuisine, where it complements meat dishes such as galbi and samgyeopsal. The sauce is made of doenjang and gochujang, as well as sesame oil, onion, garlic, and scallions.
The name derives from the words jang (meaning "paste" or "thick sauce") and ssam (meaning "food wrapped in a leaf"), hence "sauce for food wrapped in a leaf."
