Sempio Vegan Products: Korean Pastes, Yondu, and No Soy Sauce

You can build a plant-based Korean pantry around the way you like to cook. A fermented paste can provide the base of a stew, a dipping paste can finish a bowl, and a liquid seasoning can bring savory depth to vegetables. Sempio offers vegan options for every one of these roles.

Here is a starting selection for home cooking, organized by how you will use each product.

Fermented pastes for Korean cooking

Gochujang Vegan brings chili heat and fermented savoriness to marinades, sauces, and stews. For a gluten-free kitchen, choose one of the options below.

Gochujang Gluten Free is vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO. Gochujang Organic is vegan, gluten-free, and USDA Organic. Both keep the same bold gochujang flavor.

Gochujang with Lemon Gluten Free adds a bright citrus note and is vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO. Try it in dressings and marinades.

Doenjang Vegan supplies a rich fermented soybean flavor for soups, stews, and sauces. Doenjang Gluten Free is vegan too and made without wheat. Use either where you want an earthy, savory foundation.

Ssamjang Vegan is a ready-to-use dipping paste for wraps, vegetables, and other foods. Ssamjang Gluten Free is vegan as well, for gluten-free tables.

Yondu for everyday cooking

Yondu Organic is organic, vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO, crafted from fermented soybeans and a vegetable stock. Use it when you want a liquid savory seasoning for vegetables, grains, or other everyday dishes.

Yondu Hot & Spicy is vegan and gluten-free. It brings chili heat as well as savory flavor, so it fills a different role from a mild everyday seasoning. Consider it for noodles, stir-fries, or a dipping sauce when you want heat.

Yondu Broth Concentrate Vegetable and Yondu Broth Concentrate No-chicken are vegan, plant-based broth options. The Vegetable product offers a vegetable-stock direction; No-chicken is designed for a chicken-broth-style flavor without using a conventional chicken broth. Follow the instructions for the specific bottle when diluting it.

A soy-free alternative

No Soy Sauce Allergen-Free is vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free, made from peas. It gives you another option for the liquid-seasoning role in marinades, stir-fries, and dipping sauces when you are also looking to avoid soy.

Start with a small, useful collection

If you mostly cook vegetables and grains, an everyday liquid seasoning and one paste may be enough to begin. If you enjoy wraps and bowls, ssamjang can be a convenient first choice. If soups are a regular part of your week, consider doenjang or a Yondu broth concentrate. These are suggested ways to organize your pantry, and you can choose the combination that fits your meals.
