Frequently Asked Questions

We answer everything you want to know about Black Bean Paste.

What is black bean paste?

Black bean paste is a rich, savory, and umami-packed condiment made from fermented soybeans. It is a staple ingredient in many Asian cuisines, particularly for creating deep, earthy flavors in stir-fries and noodle dishes.

Is black bean paste the same as black bean sauce?

While often used interchangeably, black bean paste is typically a concentrated, fermented product that requires cooking, whereas black bean sauce is often pre-seasoned and ready to use as a stir-fry base.

What is the difference between Korean and Chinese black bean paste?

Korean black bean paste, or chunjang, is generally sweeter and used for dishes like Jajangmyeon, while Chinese fermented black bean paste (douchi) is saltier, funkier, and commonly used in savory stir-fries.

How do I use black bean paste?

To get the best flavor, black bean paste should be fried in oil for a few minutes before adding other ingredients. This process removes any raw, bitter taste and helps the paste develop its signature savory profile.

Can I substitute black bean paste?

Depending on your recipe, you can sometimes substitute it with miso paste or sweet bean sauce, though the flavor profile will differ. For the most authentic results, we recommend using traditional black bean paste.
