Made from 100% Organic Soybeans
[Gaeul Hyanggi] Organic Doenjang Paste
Gaeul Hyanggi's Organic Doenjang Paste is best described as that "original country-side" flavor. This means that the doenjang has a rich pungent flavor but is not overly salty!
Many homecooks prefer a less salty flavor - as they enjoy the natural richness of fermented soybeans. We think this doenjang is good choice for first-timers and young children.
Gaeul Hyanngi makes this Doenjang with only two ingredients: organic-certified soybeans and sea salt. It's made the traditional way - with no artificial preservatives, chemicals or additives. To bring out a deep, umami flavor, the mashed soybeans (meju bricks) are aged in traditional Korean pots for at least one year.
If you've tried Doenjang Stew before but felt that it tasted too rich or salty, this may be the one for you!
Product Highlights
- Made with two ingredients - organic soybeans & sea salt (zero additives or chemicals)
- Fermented in large hanggari pots for 1 year - for deep, umami flavor
- Less salty than regular Doenjang with deep umami flavor - great for making dressing, sauces or marinades
- Available in large 500g glass jar
1. Korean Organic-Certified Soybeans are boiled in large iron cauldrons. The cooked beans are then mashed and molded into bricks (meju)
2. Once the bricks turn firm, they are left to dry on rice straws for 3 weeks - this is when healthy bacterias develop and the fermentation process begins.
3. The meju bricks are now ready to be stacked and stored in large Hanggari pots - along with sea salt - to ferment again and transform into doenjang paste.
