Doubanjiang is commonly referred to as the soul of Sichuan cooking.
Mala Market's version is produced in Pixian, just outside Chengdu, which is renowned for its doubanjiang production.
Doubanjiang (alternatively spelled toban djan) is an intensely flavored paste made from fermented broad (fava) beans, chilies, salt and seasonings. Fly by JIng is importing the best version we have tasted of this pantry staple: remarkably deep, savory and spicy—far more so than any supermarket version. It’ll be your new secret ingredient and salvation for midnight noodles or last-minute meals.

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Try doubanjiang in classic recipes like Mapo Dofu. Once you are hooked on its complex, savory flavor you'll want to add a spoonful to quick stir fries, soups, and marinades. Or try a spoonful “neat” with rice and a pair of fried eggs for breakfast or lunch. It's strong stuff and a little dab will do you.
When using in a stirfry, start by cooking briefly in the oil to disperse the flavor before adding the meat or vegetables.
