About Soybean paste

Soybean paste is a thick preparation identified as being made from soybeans. The name does not specify whether it is fermented or what other ingredients, such as salt or grains, may be included.

It is generally encountered as a spreadable or spoonable ingredient used in food preparation. Its colour, texture, aroma, and savouriness vary with recipe and processing, so the label does not support assigning a particular style or fixed set of ingredients.
