Condiment
Mild Doenjang
B tier
Mild doenjang is tamed for soup that children will eat: less funk, often smoother, sometimes blended with lighter soy. It can taste closer to a soft miso than to village doenjang. Use it when funk would lose the table. Traditional is the stew that tastes Korean.

Mild doenjang was developed for urban households and school-lunch palates.
Export mild doenjang sat beside traditional tubs in overseas groceries.
Recipes began saying traditional or mild so the stew funk was a choice.
