Mix, don’t buy mystery
쌈장 is doenjang + gochujang + sesame oil + minced garlic + a pinch of sugar. Sesame salt is toasted seed + coarse salt for fatty pork. Keep raw chilies and ssam vegetables on the same tray. Abroad, a tub of premade ssamjang is acceptable; taste it and loosen with oil if it is paste-brick.
