Cheonggukjang contains less salt than soybean paste, so you can consume less sodium. I added sweet and sour taste by mixing citron syrup and reduced the amount of salt.

Finding these ingredients in the US
- Green OnionKorean large green onion, at Korean markets. Elsewhere use the white parts of several scallions, or a mild leek.
- Glutinous Rice FlourSold as 'sweet rice flour' or 'glutinous rice flour' at Asian markets and many baking aisles. Not the same as regular rice flour.
- Sweet PotatoKorean sweet potatoes (white flesh, chestnut-like) are at Asian markets — 'Japanese sweet potato' is the same style. Orange yams are much wetter.
- Starch PowderPotato starch is at most supermarkets near the flours. Cornstarch swaps 1:1 for thickening and coating.
- TofuAny supermarket tofu works — pick firm for stews and stir-fries, silken for soft soups.
