Soy paste is a uniquely Taiwanese ingredient made from cooking soy sauce with rice starch to give it body. The end result is similar in texture to oyster sauce, with a deeply umami and sweet soy flavor. 

Yu Ding Xing thickens their 450-day aged soy sauce with glutinous rice, leaving some of the rice grains visible in the product.

Made in XiLuo, Taiwan.

Use it as a dip, a glaze, or for finishing stir-fries. Amazing when paired with Su Chili Crisp as a finishing sauce.

How It's Made

Our soy sauces and pastes are handmade in XiLuo, a town in West Central Taiwan. The area is famous for its agricultural production and traditional soy sauce. We work with Yu Ding Xing, a generations-old family brewery that brews their soy sauce with non-GMO black soybeans in the traditional Taiwanese style, naturally fermenting them for up to one year in terracotta barrels under the Taiwan sun.

Our soy sauce is naturally fermented at a generations old family brewery in Yunlin, Taiwan. The barrels date back three generations.

Traditional, non-GMO soybeans are used. In our most premium soy sauces, they are single origin, hand selected at a farm nearby.

Conventional soy sauce is made of yellow soybean meal and wheat, but in our soy sauces only whole black soybeans are used, in the traditional style. Added bonus: most of our soy sauces are gluten-free.

After 6 months or more of fermentation, the rich, dark soy sauce is ladled out of the barrel, heated over a wood fire, and bottled directly. It's then shipped to us and sold to you. No dilution, no preservatives..
