Trader Joe's Yangnyeom Sauce - 15.5 oz

Yes — Trader Joe's made a yangnyeom sauce, and it became one of their most talked-about launches of 2025. Their spin blends soy sauce, red miso, molasses, ginger, rice vinegar, chili, and sesame oil into the sticky sweet-spicy glaze the US now knows from Korean fried chicken.

For Korean palates the fun is in the comparison: it's TJ's American read on 양념 — a little more molasses depth, a touch less fire — and US reviewers rank it among the best sauces on the shelf.

• Tossed with fried chicken, TJ-style yangnyeom chicken
• Glazed on air-fried salmon or tofu
• Stir-fried with rice cakes
• As a dumpling and fry dip
• Brushed on grilled short ribs

This one's a good fit if

• Curious how the US does 양념
• Expat families missing Korean-American fusion
• Fans of viral TJ launches
• Sweet-spicy glaze lovers

This is the novelty pick of the batch: an American grocer's yangnyeom, made for US shoppers, that Korean customers order to taste how the translation went. US food media ranked it at the top of TJ's entire sauce lineup in 2025.
