LoginCheonggukjang
Cheonggukjang is a fermented soybean paste used in Korean cuisine. It contains whole as well as ground soybeans.
Cheonggukjang was introduced by what is now China to the Korean peninsula during the Joseon era. At the time, cheonggukjang was used as rations by Qing Dynasty soldiers. Cheonggukjang is most often used to prepare a stew, which is also simply called cheonggukjang, but may be called cheonggukjang jjigae to avoid confusion.photo Cheonggukjang jjigae often includes additional ingredients, such as potatoes, onions, and tofu.
Cheonggukjang is generally considered to be a healthy food (particularly in the winter), as it is rich in vitamins and other nutrients, though its very strong odor is not universally enjoyed. Some people have commented that this soup gives off the aroma of wet socks. Doenjang may be used to replace it by people who dislike the smell.
In 1993, odorless cheonggukjang was invented by Dr. Hyun Kyu Joo, a former professor at Kunkook University, who later obtained a patent in 1998 for a method for removing cheonggukjang's characteristic smell.
Cheonggukjang is also believed to aid in digestion. For this purpose, cheonggukjang pills are produced in South Korea.
