Description

Lee Kum Kee Sweet Bean Sauce 13.4 oz is a thick, savory-sweet fermented sauce made primarily from soybeans and wheat flour. It has a smooth, dark-brown paste with rich umami depth and a gentle sweetness, and is a classic base in many Northern Chinese dishes.

  • Type: Fermented sweet bean sauce (tuong ngot)
  • Net weight: 13.4 oz
  • Texture: Thick, smooth paste
  • Flavor: Savory umami with mild sweetness

How to use: Sweet bean sauce is the traditional condiment for Peking duck and mu shu dishes, and a key seasoning for zhajiangmian (noodles with bean sauce). Use it in stir-fries, as a marinade, in braises, or as a dipping and wrap sauce with scallions and pancakes. A little goes a long way.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening and use a clean spoon each time.
