This raw doenjang is ready to use straight from the container and doesn't require cooking before adding to dishes. You can add it directly to soups and stews during cooking, or mix it with other ingredients to create dipping sauces. For stews, add 1-2 tablespoons per serving and simmer to develop the flavors.

This fermented paste is perfect for making doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) with tofu and vegetables, or as a base for marinades for grilled meats. You can also mix it with sesame oil, garlic, and green onions to create a flavorful dipping sauce for fresh vegetables. Many customers at Korean supermarket Paris use it in vegetable stir-fries and soup broths for authentic umami flavor.

This product pairs excellently with steamed rice, grilled pork belly, and fresh lettuce wraps. The rich, salty flavor complements mild vegetables like cucumber, cabbage, and bean sprouts. For home cooking enthusiasts, it works wonderfully with tofu, mushrooms, and root vegetables in hearty stews.

Store the opened container in the refrigerator at 0-10°C and it will maintain quality for several months due to its fermented nature. Always use clean utensils when scooping to prevent contamination. The 2.8kg size is ideal for regular use, and you'll find it available at most Asian market Porto locations for convenient restocking.
