Brown Rice Barley Doenjang

About Brown Rice Barley Doenjang

TRADITIONAL DOENJANG (FERMENTED SOYBEAN PASTE)  
Doenjang, a thick brown-hued paste of fermented soybeans and salt, has been a staple in Korean kitchens for centuries.  While Japanese miso ferments rice and other grains with soybeans, doenjang’s exclusively use of soybeans results in a stronger, sharper and deeper flavor and a coarser texture reminiscent of chunky peanut butter.

The standard fermentation period for doenjang is at least 6 weeks, though the doenjang at Kisoondo takes at least a year to make.  The result is a deep, complex flavor you won't find in factory-made doenjang.  The addition of brown rice and barley rounds out the flavor of the otherwise punchy doenjang, while the chili seeds add the subtle kick making this perfect for a variety of uses.
