Doenjang ([twendʑaŋ]), or bean paste (HS code: 2103.90.1010), literally means "thick sauce" in Korean.
To produce doenjang, dried soybeans are boiled and stone-ground into coarse bits. This paste is then formed into blocks, which are called meju (메주). The blocks are then exposed to sunlight or warmth. When so exposed, dried rice plants are attached to the surface of the soybean blocks. Dried rice plants are readily available in Korea and are a rich source of bacteria (Bacillus subtilis). The fermentation process begins at this stage. The Bacillus subtilis bacteria reproduce, consuming soybean protein and water in the meju. The unique smell of the meju is mainly the ammonia produced by the bacteria. One to three months later, depending on the block size, the meju are put into large, opaque pottery jars with brine and left to further ferment, during which time various beneficial bacteria transform the mixture into a further vitamin-enriched substance (similar to the way milk ferments to become yogurt). Liquids and solids are separated after the fermentation process, and the liquid becomes Korean soy sauce (Joseon ganjang; 조선간장). The solid, which is doenjang, is very salty and quite thick, often containing (unlike most miso) some whole, uncrushed soybeans.

I go my own way, I walk my own line,
I live by my own code, and so far I'm doing just fine,
Don't hurt no one, do other's as I'd have them do unto me,
Don't tell anyone what to do, but there always seems to be someone telling me (that).
I'm doing wrong, I'm going to hell.
My soul's gone, an angel fell.
I ain't no profit, but it's plain to see, there won't be no heaven for me.
There won't be no 72 virgins waiting for me in the Holyland.
No white gates, no clouds, no reincarnation.
Because I don't read the books, I'll suffer eternal damnation.
Because I need to see proof, I'm a god-damned abomination.
I want to believe, I wish I could.
It would be a relief, to stop thinking and 'just do as I should'.
I ain't no profit, but it's plain to see, there won't be no heaven for me.
When I was 12, I announced "I don't believe in god".
My momma said it was just a phase, just a passing thought.
But I've got my eyes open, yeah I don't pass the buck.
And you can tell me that I'm going to hell, because I don't give a flying ****.
They say: I'm doing wrong, I'm going to hell.
My soul's gone, an angel fell.
I want to believe, I wish I could.
It would be a relief, to stop thinking and 'just do as I should'.
