Cholimex Fermented Soybeans 250g

Unlock the deep, savoury flavours of authentic Vietnamese cooking with Cholimex Fermented Soybeans. Known as tuong or tuong dan, this traditional paste is made from whole soybeans that have been naturally fermented and slow-cooked with rice, resulting in a complex, salty, and intensely umami-rich condiment.

A staple in every Vietnamese kitchen, this is the essential ingredient for creating classic dishes like Bun Dau Mam Tom (vermicelli with fried tofu and shrimp paste dip) and is the soul of a proper Vietnamese dipping sauce. Its robust flavour also makes it a fantastic marinade for grilled meats like pork and chicken, or a flavour-packed base for stir-fries and soups.

Think of it as the versatile, flavour-packed secret weapon that adds an unforgettable depth to your cooking, much like miso or doenjang in other Asian cuisines.
