Jinmi Chunjang Black Bean Paste 300g

Chunjang (춘장) is a Korean-style black bean paste, essential for making the iconic noodle dish, Jajangmyeon. This paste is made from fermented soybeans, wheat flour, and caramel, giving it a distinctively deep, savoury, and slightly sweet flavour with a rich, dark colour. It serves as the foundational sauce for Jajangmyeon, where it's fried with diced pork or vegetables and served over thick noodles. To prepare, first fry the chunjang in a little oil to remove any bitterness and unlock its full aroma before adding your other ingredients. This simple step is key to achieving an authentic restaurant-quality taste at home. This paste is a staple in any Korean pantry, perfect for anyone looking to recreate classic Korean-Chinese comfort food. Contains WHEAT and SOY.
