About Doubanjian sauce

Doubanjian Sauce, often called "Pixian Broad Bean Paste," is a staple of Sichuan cuisine in China. Made from fermented broad beans, soybeans, chili peppers, wheat flour, and salt, this bold condiment delivers a complex blend of umami, spice, and richness. Known for its deep red hue and pungent aroma, it's a key ingredient in dishes like Mapo Tofu and Twice-Cooked Pork. Nutritionally, Doubanjian is low in fat but contains sodium due to the fermentation process and added salt, so portion control is important. The fermentation process also enhances digestive-friendly enzymes and probiotics. While it brings depth and authentic flavor to meals, its intense seasoning means a little goes a long way. Whether you're creating hearty stir-fries or spicy stews, Doubanjian adds an unmistakable kick, making it an essential item for lovers of traditional Sichuan cooking.
