Doenjang (된장) is a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste, fundamental to Korean cuisine. This paste from CJ Haechandeul has a deep, savoury, and umami-rich flavour with a distinct earthy aroma, derived from its natural fermentation process. It serves as an essential base for many classic Korean dishes, including the popular doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew), soups, and various dipping sauces. For an authentic Korean stew, simply dissolve a spoonful of the paste in boiling water with tofu, vegetables, and your choice of meat or seafood. This product is a staple for anyone looking to explore the foundational flavours of Korean home cooking. CONTAINS: SOY, WHEAT.
