Traditional Firewood Soy Paste

Soy paste is a uniquely Taiwanese ingredient made from cooking soy sauce with rice starch to give it body. The end result is similar in texture to oyster sauce, with a deeply umami and sweet soy flavor. Use it to glaze stir fries, marinate meats and tofu, or as a ready-to-go sauce for steamed vegetables. It makes a great sauce for dry noodle dishes or dip for danbing (Taiwanese egg crepe). The Traditional Firewood Soy Paste is an all-purpose soy paste made with black soybeans and glutinous rice flour. This soy paste also contains mirin and licorice for a warm and anise-like flavor, a perfect complement to Chinese five-spice.Like other Yu Ding Xing soy sauces, this is hand prepared, naturally fermented in vats for 6 months, and heated over a wood fire at the end of the fermentation process.Tasting Notes and Usageumami, bright, anisetteIngredients and InstructionsWater, non-GMO black soybeans, glutinous rice flour, licorice, sea salt, sugar, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, xantha
