Wang Korean Traditional Doenjang, Fermented Soybean Paste, 1.1 Pound

Makes good soup. Good for so many dishes other than just Korean dishes.

I've had bean paste before in S.Korea back in the early 80's. It went great with rice wrapped in lettuce. A recent craving for that dish sent me looking for "bean paste". There's all kinds of variations and all I wanted is what I had back in 1980. This one here is pretty close. Maybe they are all pretty close? But I don't regret trying this one.

I watched a Korean chef cook with this brand on tv, and she indicated that this style of bean paste is chunkier than the smooth Japanese Miso pastes. So, knowing this was important. Really great taste and also wonderful to cook with.

Thanks

The seller really needs to edit this listing. It says gluten free twice, and then has wheat flour in the ingredients. I missed that before buying and didn't take it out of my fridge to use for the first time until after the return window closed.Mislabeled products claiming to be gluten free can have serious health consequences for people with extreme allergies or celiac disease.4 stars because that's the average, idk the quality of the product because I can't eat it now.

It was great!

Mandatory teaspoon of this fermented soy paste in a small cup hot water, stir, start the day smiling... my ritual. I really like the chunky little pieces of soy bits at the bottom of my cup , yummy

This is so tasty. I use it in soups and for meats and it's delicious
