Are you familiar with using soybean paste for Korean side dishes? We usually use soybean paste for cooking a soybean paste soup called “DoenJangGuk”. Soybean paste is one of my favorite flavors for Korean vegetable side dishes. You can simply boil different kinds of leafy vegetables such as Napa cabbage, spinach, Swiss chard, or bok choy and season the cooked veggies with this soybean paste along with a few more Korean flavoring ingredients. Oh my, they are so good. If you are a vegan, this can be a great choice for your Korean meal plan.
