Dwenjang Paste Saikai Nikkomi started Nikkomi Studios asDwenjang is a traditional fermented soybean paste crafted from lacto fermented soybeans meju, malt powder, sweet rice, and sea salt. The paste ferments, undisturbed, over several months to deepen and fortify flavors resulting in an umami explosion of a paste that looks akin to miso, but with MORE: pronounced saltiness, earthiness, without any sweetness. A little goes a long way. Creative uses: Dwenjang will infuse any sauces, dips, soups, or braises
