Soybean paste (Doenjang) 된장
Soybean paste ("Doenjang") is one of the most popular Korean traditional fermented seasoning ingredients along with red chili paste ("Gochujang"). Since it is mainly composed of soybeans, it has been a great source of protein for Koreans, especially in old days. Now, it is known as a great anti-cancer food and its quality has been recognized globally. Soybean paste is usually used as the main seasoning ingredients for soup, stew and "Ssamjang"(dipping sauce for lettuce wrap), but also can be used to season blanched vegetables such as spinach. However, it is recommended not to consume too much since it is highly composed of sodium.
