black bean paste
Dark soybean condiment
Black bean paste is a savory condiment made from fermented black soybeans, used extensively in Chinese and Korean cooking.
The Chinese version (douchi or doubanjiang) tends toward salty and pungent, while Korean versions (chunjang) are sweeter and used in dishes like jajangmyeon.
The paste adds deep umami flavor to stir-fries, sauces, and marinades: Stir in a tablespoon of black bean paste and cook until fragrant.
