Yeo Kyung-ok's Mala Tang
A super simple mala tang that perfectly recreates the rich, smoky flavor at home using just three store-bought seasonings—doubanjiang, oyster sauce, and sansho sauce—without any complex spices.
Ingredients needed 3 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Always sauté doubanjiang and oyster sauce in oil first—this eliminates the raw, surface-level taste of store-bought sauces and enhances their deep, Chinese-inspired flavor.
- If the broth reduces too much and becomes overly salty, add warm water gradually during cooking to adjust seasoning.
- For a richer, creamier, more balanced flavor reminiscent of hot pot, stir in 1 large tablespoon of peanut butter for a touch of sweetness and smoothness.
Recommended for
- Those who want to successfully make authentic-tasting mala tang without complicated spices.
- Home cooks looking to use up leftover vegetables and sausages for a bold, spicy stew.
