Fermented soybean paste is a traditional Asian condiment made from soybeans that have undergone extensive fermentation with salt and koji culture. This nutrient-dense paste is renowned for its rich umami flavor and concentrated protein content, while also providing beneficial probiotics from the fermentation process. Common varieties include Japanese miso and Korean doenjang, which are used to add deep savory notes to soups, marinades, and dressings while contributing significant nutritional value.
