WHAT IS THIS? I live in Korea and I have never in nearly a decade seen anything like this sauce. I can only assume this is meant to approximate ssamjang - a mix of doenjang, gochujang, sesame oil and garlic, sometimes with some green onions or other herbs thrown in. Rarely, you find someone who throws in a tiny bit of sugar (not honey). It certainly doesn't include tofu!
