As a native of the Northeast, I can only rely on this to make do if I can’t eat the farm miso from my grandma’s house.

Frequently Asked Questions
We answer everything you want to know about Soybean Paste.
What is soybean paste?
Soybean paste, often known as doenjang in Korean cuisine, is a fermented paste made from soybeans and brine. It is a staple ingredient used to add a deep, savory, and earthy umami flavor to soups, stews, and dipping sauces.
Is miso paste and soybean paste the same?
While both are fermented soybean products, they have distinct differences. Doenjang (Korean soybean paste) is typically chunkier, more pungent, and has a more robust, salty flavor profile compared to the smoother, often milder and slightly sweeter Japanese miso paste.
How do I use soybean paste in cooking?
Doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew) is the most popular use. It is also a key ingredient in ssamjang (a dipping sauce for BBQ), marinades for meats, and as a seasoning for blanched vegetables to add a savory kick.
Is soybean paste healthy?
Yes, authentic soybean paste is rich in probiotics, antioxidants, and essential minerals. It is known to support digestive health, boost the immune system, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
What can I use as a substitute for soybean paste?
If you don't have soybean paste, you can try using miso paste as a substitute, though the flavor will be milder. For ssamjang, you can mix miso with a little chili paste, garlic, and sesame oil to mimic the savory, complex taste.
