Tao Jiew (Thai Fermented Soybean Paste)

Tao Jiew (Thai Fermented Soybean Paste) is a salty, fermented soybean paste widely used in Thai cuisine as a seasoning and condiment; it lends umami depth to stir-fries, dipping sauces and marinades. It provides plant-based protein and some fiber along with minerals such as zinc from the soybeans, and its fermentation contributes savory complexity and traditionally preserved flavor. Note that 13g of salt per 100g makes it a very concentrated source of sodium, so it is typically used in small amounts; despite that, fermentation boosts protein quality and offers modest micronutrient benefits.
