Korean fermented soybean paste.

I'm interested in trying to make this using local fava beans. I'm inspired by Noma's peaso and by Nokni's approach to using Korean techniques with local ingredients. Did a little research, and discovered that the Chinese have a fermented fava bean paste called Doubanjiang. Did some more research, and discovered that fermenting bean pastes is a thing. However, I haven't found anything on fermenting beans (other than soybeans) using Korean techniques. So, I think I'll give it a shot.
