How can I use Surasang Ssamjang Sauce in everyday cooking?

The sauce is versatile: use it as a dip, spread, marinade, or finishing condiment. It pairs especially well with fresh vegetables, grilled meats, and casual handheld foods, adding savory depth without overwhelming other ingredients.

• Spread on tacos, chicken burgers, or hot dogs as an umami booster
• Stir into grain bowls, noodles, or stews for extra body

How should I store and serve this ssamjang to keep it fresh?
