What is Kouji?
Kouji (or koji) is rice cultured with the beneficial Aspergillus oryzae mould, the heart of Japanese staples like soy sauce, miso, and sake. It naturally breaks down ingredients, creating incredible depth of flavour and tenderising food.

Key Features & Uses:

• All-in-One Seasoning: Marinate, baste, dip, or dress. It’s your new kitchen staple.
• Rich Umami Flavour: A perfect balance of savoury soy sauce, sweet koji, and aromatic negi.
• Natural Tenderiser: The enzymes in koji break down proteins, making meat and fish incredibly juicy and tender.
• Quick & Easy: No need to mix a dozen ingredients—this paste is ready to use straight from the jar.

How to Use It (Ideas for the Australian Kitchen):

• Marinade: Slather on chicken thighs, steak, or salmon 30 minutes to overnight before grilling or roasting.
• Dipping Sauce: Thin with a little vinegar or citrus juice for a sensational dumpling or gyoza dip.
• Flavour Boost: Stir a spoonful into fried rice, noodles, soups, or stews.
• Dressing Base: Mix with rice vinegar and oil for a unique salad dressing.
