Doenjang

Everyday

Doenjang is a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste, central to Korean cuisine. This savory paste is made by fermenting soybeans, resulting in a concentrated source of umami flavor and beneficial probiotics. The fermentation process, often involving sun-drying and aging in earthenware pots, develops a complex, pungent aroma and deep, earthy taste. Doenjang is commonly used as a base for soups, stews, and dipping sauces, adding a rich, savory depth to dishes.
