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 🍳
- Cut boiled dogani into bite-sized pieces, and slice green onion and garlic into thin strips as garnishes.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan, then sauté the sliced green onion, garlic, and 1 pinch of pickled ginger until fragrant.
- 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.
- Add the cut dogani to the pan and stir over high heat so the sauce evenly coats the surface.
- Pour in water or the included dogani broth until it just covers the dogani.
- Add 1 tablespoon of doubanjiang and 1 tablespoon of sugar, stirring well to blend the sauce, then bring to a boil over high heat.
- 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.
- Serve when the liquid has reduced and the dogani is fully coated with sticky, flavorful sauce and has a soft, tender texture.
- Cut dogani into bite-sized pieces and slice green onion and garlic into strips.
- Sauté green onion, garlic, and ginger in oil until fragrant.
- Add cooking wine and sea salt soy sauce, then stir-fry with dogani.
- Pour in water or broth, add doubanjiang and sugar, and bring to a boil.
- 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.
