A 500g jar of Sweet Bean Sauce is a savory-sweet Chinese condiment, often from brands like WangZhiHe, made from fermented wheat flour and soybeans, used for flavoring dishes like Zha Jiang Mian (noodles) or as a dip for vegetables and pancakes, providing rich umami with a hint of sweetness and depth, distinct from red bean paste used in desserts, though both are bean-based pastes. 
What it is:
Ingredients: Primarily fermented wheat flour, soybeans, salt, and sometimes water and food additives.
Flavor: A complex savory-sweet taste, often with a rich, fermented aroma.
Texture: A thick, smooth paste. 
Common Uses:
Noodles: A key component in Zha Jiang Mian (fried sauce noodles).
Stir-fries: Adds depth to various stir-fried dishes.
Dipping Sauce: Served with lettuce, cucumber, or pancakes.
Marinades: Used to flavor meats. 
Key Distinction:
While “sweet bean sauce” can sometimes refer to red bean paste for desserts (like mooncakes or steamed buns), the savory 500g jar is usually the wheat-based  essential for savory Chinese cooking.
