Soy bean paste, also known as doenjang or miso depending on the region, is a fermented seasoning staple in East Asian cuisine, particularly Korean and Japanese cooking. Made from soybeans and salt, sometimes mixed with rice or barley, the fermentation process creates a rich, savory flavor packed with umami. It is a versatile ingredient used in soups, marinades, dipping sauces, and stews. Nutritionally, soy bean paste is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, such as manganese and copper. The fermentation process also introduces probiotics, which support gut health. However, it can be high in sodium, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Its robust flavor makes it a healthier alternative for adding depth to dishes without the need for heavy fats or oils, making it a popular choice for maintaining a balanced diet.
