My essential weeknight recipe isn’t a specific dish but a piquant and versatile condiment, dipping sauce, and marinade that livens up everything from tofu to meat, vegetables, dumplings, and noodles. Of all the recipes I have learned from my partner’s Korean mother, yangnyeomjang is one of the most indispensable.
