Bean Paste
Q: What is bean paste?
Lynne: Bean paste is a Chinese ingredient made from soy beans and is available in Asian groceries, usually packaged in glass jars. Yellow bean paste (really brown in color) is salty and usually used in savory dishes. Red bean paste, made from adzuki beans, is generally used in sweet dishes. Once opened, store bean paste in the refrigerator, where it will keep for months.
