Reddit mentions of Kimlan Soy Paste - 20 oz.

i keep soy sauce, sweet soy sauce and soy paste on hand...but the soy paste is becoming increasingly difficult to find locally even here in socal. and it's not like i'm shopping for them in some random ethnic food store...i'm literally looking for them in chinese supermarkets.

but tbh i've been using soy sauce less and less and using sweet soy sauce more and more...it's just so much more versatile in marinades and it's even good as an added flavor to ramen, soups etc.

providing amazon links but go to an asian grocer cause it'll be half the price

"dark soy sauce" is slightly thicker than light and has a sweeter, saltier flavor. you can find it in most stores jsut look for something that says dark soy sauce https://www.amazon.com/Pearl-River-Bridge-Superior-Sauce/dp/B0001EJ4C0/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=dark+soy+sauce&qid=1558822716&s=gateway&sr=8-3

soy paste is even thicker. sometimes called "thick soy sauce" i think https://www.amazon.com/Kimlan-Soy-Paste-20-oz/dp/B003Q3GGGU/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=soy+paste&qid=1558822888&s=gateway&sr=8-4 or https://www.amazon.com/Koon-Chun-Thick-Soy-Sauce/dp/B00012OI14

not sure about the brand. i usually like koon chun or pearl river bridge. maybe try asking someone at the restaurant :)
