About SZECHUAN, BEAN SAUCE
Szechuan Bean Sauce is a fermented soybean-based condiment and cooking sauce made from soybeans, salt, sugar, water, citric acid, and wheat flour. Per 100 g, it provides 80 calories, 10 g protein, 10 g carbohydrates, and no fat, with a notable 10 g fiber figure suggesting a high proportion of whole soybean solids. The fermented soybean base delivers a deep, savory, slightly salty flavor typical of Chinese doubanjiang-adjacent bean pastes used in Sichuan-style cooking. It contains both soy and wheat. Used as a seasoning for stir-fries, dipping sauces, noodle dishes, and braised meats, it provides an umami base with mild sweetness. Sodium content from salt is significant; usage is typically in small amounts as a flavoring agent rather than a standalone sauce.
