New York City’s Momofuku Noodle Bar rapidly grew into an international phenomenon after chef David Chang Momofuku opened its doors in 2004. Among its other incredible menu items and exceptional ingredients, customers absolutely flipped for the restaurant’s go-to condiment Ssam Sauce. In a move that is thrilling foodies around the world, Momofuku has now bottled its signature sauce for distribution and sale around the world.
Truly unique among condiments, Ssam Sauce offers a precise balance of spiciness and sweetness that is made with the umami-rich, traditional Korean chili paste gochujang in addition to flavor elements such as miso, soy sauce, sake, and rice vinegar. Although many connoisseurs of this proprietary Korean chili sauce insist that it tastes great on everything, David Chang and the other Momofuku chefs suggest trying it with staples such as hamburgers, fried chicken, and ramen. No matter what you put it on or dip it in, you’ll get a guaranteed kick!
