Doenjang Soybean Paste by CJ Haechandle, 1.1lb (500g)

Lowest price in a year and only $0.05 more than lowest price ever. Free Prime Shipping

Deonjang is a naturally fermented soybean paste that goes well with any dish. A fermented nutty taste makes a perfect seasoning for any soup or stew.

Doenjang is one of the most essential Korean seasoning Ingredients along with red chili paste ("gochujang").
  • Korea's no.1 doenjang (Soybean paste)
  • Made in traditional fermentation method for the best flavor and taste loved by many for hundreds of years;
  • Good on almost any Korean dish especially stew, soup, mixed food, and fusion entrees.
  • No preservatives; no artificial flavors;
  • 500g (1.1 lb); product of South Korea
According to this study [nih.gov], "doenjang may promote gut health by regulating gut microbiota and its LPS concentrations and suppressing harmful enzyme production."

According to this website [maangchi.com], "Korean fermented soybean paste, called doenjang (된장), is more than just a seasoning or an essential ingredient in many iconic Korean dishes. It's part of who we are as Koreans and how we see ourselves. A meal of rice, kimchi, doenjang-soup (or doenjang-stew), and a few side dishes is for many Koreans, the definition of a meal: breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's impossible for us to imagine life without doenjang.

Salty, earthy, hearty, incredibly savory and delicious, it adds flavor to many dishes and makes them distinctively Korean."

Generally these pastes are pretty nice. Remember that soy sauce is fermented, so being fermented doesn't necessarily mean it will be stinky like mature kimchi.

This is a good price if Amazon is your only option, but normal price for this is $5-6 or less at Asian markets.

Good point. Also, be sure to compare brands of doenjang as ingredients vary widely between manufacturers. The doenjang in this deal includes "anchovy paste" and "vegetable extract," among other ingredients, whereas Chung Jung O'Food's version just has "water, soybeans & salt." Also, sizes vary between companies - O'Food's is 450g (.9lbs) vs this one at 500g (1.1lb).

Korean American here. I love doenjang chigae and grew up with this flavor. Think of it as a slightly funkier miso soup. It's a stew typically made with chopped vegetables, morsels of meat with tofu cubes. You can pretty much put anything in there and it's delicious with a side of steamed rice.

Is there a name for this dish so I can look up recipes? I make bulgogi with the gochujang paste often but I've never tried to do anything with this so I don't want to go in completely blind.

if you need sauce for k bbq I would go with ssam-jang which basically is a mix of this doenjang paste and gochujang (spicy pepper paste). ssam-jang is usually sold in a green-colored box/package.
