Product Description

Poons Fermented Soy Bean Paste is a versatile Chinese cooking staple made from fermented yellow soybeans, wheat and salt. Its complex flavour profile combines savoury umami richness with a gentle sweetness and saltiness, making it an invaluable ingredient for building flavour in countless dishes.

Traditionally used as a base seasoning, the paste is best added early in the cooking process, allowing it to fry gently in oil and release its full aroma and depth. This simple step creates a rich foundation for stir-fries, slow-cooked braises, marinades and sauces.

Whether you’re preparing classic Chinese dishes or experimenting with fusion cooking, this fermented soybean paste acts as a powerful flavour enhancer that elevates ingredients without overpowering them.

Usage Suggestions

• Fry in oil at the beginning of cooking to release its flavour.
• Stir into vegetable, chicken, pork or beef stir-fries.
• Add to braised dishes and stews for extra depth.
• Blend into marinades for meat, tofu or vegetables.
• Mix into sauces and dressings for added umami.
• Use as a seasoning base for noodle and rice dishes.
