Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • To preserve aroma and texture, do not soak dried shiitake mushrooms for too long—just rinse briefly and pat dry immediately.
  • To prevent ingredients from absorbing the sauce unevenly, always boil the sauce first before adding the mushrooms and onions for balanced seasoning.
  • If jochang is unavailable, substitute with corn syrup; jochang’s deep, subtle sweetness helps mellow the spiciness of doubanjiang.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a unique spicy twist instead of the usual soy sauce-based mushroom stir-fry.
  • People who want rich umami flavor and chewy mushroom texture that rivals meat side dishes.
  • Anyone interested in learning the harmonious fusion seasoning formula of doubanjiang and traditional doenjang.
