Ssamjang pasta

Very basic, pretty tasty.

For the ssamjang, mix the following ingredients together:

• depending on spice level, 2-4 tbsp doenjang

• 1 tbsp gochujang

• quarter to half a finely diced white onion

• 2 tsp agave

• 2 tsp sesame oil

• 2 tsp sesame seeds

• 1 clove finely minced garlic

• 1 stalk finely chopped green onion

Mix together and taste it. It should taste good at this point.

For the pasta:

• Ssamjang. No specific measurement, I just used all the ssamjang I made above

• 200 ml cream

• if you want, some fried mock meats

• 200 grams pasta

• tbsp butter

To make it, just put the pasta on a boil. In the mean time, fry up some mock meats, if you’re using them, and in a large pan or wok, add the butter. When melted, add the ssamjang. Fry the ssamjang for about 3 to 4 minutes, then add the cream. Slowly simmer, and if needed, add some pasta water to thicken things up a little. When the pasta is close to ready, add the mock meat to the sauce, and then add the pasta. Toss the pasta to coat, serve.
