Momofuku Ssäm Sauce

From noodle purveyor extraordinaire Momofuku comes Ssäm Sauce, featuring gochujang, the traditional umami-rich Korean chili paste, along with miso, sake, soy sauce and rice vinegar. The all-purpose, everyday condiment is currently available in two dunk-and-drizzle-ready flavors: Original and Spicy. While Original offsets the spiciness of the chilis with a subtle sweetness, adding a tangy, complex flavor to a wide range of foods, Spicy amps up the heat of the chilis to add a perfectly calibrated kick to just about anything. Versions of the sauce have been used since the opening of Momofuku Noodle Bar in 2004, but with the current offering, the company believes it has found the perfect balance of ingredients. What used to be available only to diners at Momofuku restaurants can now be purchased for a suggested $5.99 per 12-ounce bottle.
