Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • boiled dogani (or store-bought dogani pack) 400g
  • green onion 1 large
  • garlic 5 cloves
  • pickled ginger 1 pinch
  • sea salt soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • doubanjiang 1 tablespoon
  • sugar 1 tablespoon
  • vinegar 1 teaspoon
  • cooking wine 1 teaspoon
  • vegetable oil 3 tablespoons
  • water or dogani broth as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut boiled dogani into bite-sized pieces, and slice green onion and garlic into thin strips as garnishes.
  2. Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan, then sauté the sliced green onion, garlic, and 1 pinch of pickled ginger until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of cooking wine to remove any off-odors, then stir in 1 tablespoon of sea salt soy sauce and lightly cook until aromatic.
  4. Add the cut dogani to the pan and stir over high heat so the sauce evenly coats the surface.
  5. Pour in water or the included dogani broth until it just covers the dogani.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon of doubanjiang and 1 tablespoon of sugar, stirring well to blend the sauce, then bring to a boil over high heat.
  7. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to enhance depth of flavor and eliminate lingering odors, then simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce reduces to a desirable consistency.
  8. Serve when the liquid has reduced and the dogani is fully coated with sticky, flavorful sauce and has a soft, tender texture.
  1. Cut dogani into bite-sized pieces and slice green onion and garlic into strips.
  2. Sauté green onion, garlic, and ginger in oil until fragrant.
  3. Add cooking wine and sea salt soy sauce, then stir-fry with dogani.
  4. Pour in water or broth, add doubanjiang and sugar, and bring to a boil.
  5. Add a splash of vinegar to boost savoriness, then simmer until the sauce thickens.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When using store-bought dogani soup packs, separate the meat from the broth first. Sauté the dogani meat in oil before adding it to the sauce for a much more chewy texture.
  • The small amount of vinegar added at the end is not meant to add sourness, but to amplify umami and cleanse the greasy mouthfeel.
  • This braising sauce combination works like a universal seasoning—perfect for beef short ribs, ribs, shrimp, fish, and many other ingredients.
