Hi there, Kamil! Soy bean paste can come in many different shades of brown. I’ve even had soy bean paste vary in colour from the same manufacturer, I guess every batch is different! ^^ Just make sure its soy bean paste you have and not black bean paste which is used for jja jang myun. Hope that helps. ^^

Dear Maangchi,

I just received my long waited soy bean paste but I don’t know if it is good.
The consistency is just like on the photos you uploaded but the colour is different-it’s dark black. I have never eaten it before so I don’t know if I don’t get ill!?

Please answer me
Best wishes,
Kamil

The white packet is to keep the paste fresh. Don’t open it, don’t eat it. You can leave it in there or you can throw it out. Hope your stews turn out deelish!

Sweet rice flour is same as glutinous rice flour or also known as sticky rice flour in South East Asia! I can buy them in the Middle East! I’m sure you can buy them in Malaysia! I make kimchi with Maangchi’s recipe..minus the squid. It always turn out excellent! Good luck!

Hi Maangchi,

Is the Korean soy bean paste the same as the Japanese miso?
