Korean dipping sauce, also known as ssamjang, is a thick, savory, and slightly spicy sauce commonly served with Korean barbecue, grilled meats, and vegetables. It is typically made with a fermented soybean paste called doenjang, red pepper powder (gochugaru), vinegar, garlic, green onions, and sesame oil. Korean dipping sauce adds a burst of flavor to grilled meats and enhances the overall experience of Korean barbecue. There are many variations of this sauce, each with its own unique blend of ingredients and flavors. In this article, we will provide you with some of the best recipes and tips to create a delicious and authentic Korean dipping sauce that will complement your favorite Korean dishes.

MY KOREAN DIPPING SAUCE
This is my own version of dipping sauce. The best version is my mom's, but since she never measures and is too swift in the kitchen to get down the exact proportions (she always gives me amounts like it should be THIS much in your palm) what am I supposed to do with that kind of measuring system? This is the next best thing and second best is just as good, right? ;-)

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together and let sit for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving to let the flavors blend.
- This will be heavy in the green onion department, so if you don't want as much, cut it down a little, but we love them and the green onions are what all of us go for first.
- This is great with any kind of steamed or fried dumpling (like Chinese dumplings or Korean mandu).

SOY-GRILLED MAHI MAHI RECIPE WITH KOREAN DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, Splenda or brown sugar, green onion, garlic puree and cayenne or hot sauce in small bowl. Put half of mixture into a small ziploc bag with the two pieces of fish and marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. While fish marinates, spray grill with non-stick spray or wipe with olive oil, then preheat grill to medium-high (you can only hold your hand there 2-3 seconds.) Put fish on grill with top side down and grill 2-3 minutes (until you can start to see grill marks, I have to lift it up to see.) Rotate 45 degrees on same side and cook 2-3 minutes more to get criss-cross marks. Turn fish over and cook about 3-4 minutes more. Total cooking time will not be more than 8-10 minutes, The fish should feel barely firm when it's done; don't overcook. Serve hot, with dipping sauce on the side.

SPICY KOREAN STYLE SOY DIPPING SAUCE
This sauce is wonderful in combination with my recipe for Little Asian Mama's Mandoo/Potstickers. However it works just as well with purchased frozen potstickers that you steam at home.
