Chunjang is a black, salty soybean paste that is used for making the sauce for jjajangmyeon, a very popular Korean Chinese cuisine. It literally means “spring sauce.” What makes Korean chunjang different from the Chinese chunjang is that Korean chunjang contains caramel, creating a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors. If you’re looking to make jjajangmyeon, this jar of chunjang will be one of the key.

Assi Bokum Chajang is a popular Korean soybean paste also known as black bean paste. Assi Chajang is already seasoned and can be consumed immediately after warmed up. Just cut potato, carrot and onion in cubes, boil and pour the Assi Chajang sauce over.
