Doganitang || Ox Knee Soup, 牛膝骨汤, 牛膝骨湯, 牛の膝軟骨スープ, 도가니탕 3

Dogani tang is a hearty Korean soup made with beef knuckle, which is a type of beef tendon. The soup is rich in collagen and is often considered a health food. The slow-cooking process allows the flavors to meld together and creates a rich, flavorful broth. The spicy paste (daedegi) is a condiment that can be added to taste, providing a kick of heat.

Ingredients:

• 1 beef knuckle (도가니)
• 300g beef brisket (양지머리)
• 200g radish
• 5 cloves garlic
• 1 piece of ginger
• 3 green onions
• For the spicy paste (다대기 양념):
  • 3 tablespoons red pepper powder
  • 1 tablespoon beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • Sesame seeds, black pepper, sesame oil to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the beef:
   • Cut the beef knuckle into 4-5 pieces and rinse thoroughly.
   • Rinse the beef brisket.
2. Blanch the meat:
   • Place the beef knuckle and brisket in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. This helps remove impurities and any unpleasant odors.
3. Simmer the soup:
   • Drain the meat and return it to a clean pot. Add enough fresh water to cover the meat.
   • Add the radish, garlic, ginger, and a few green onions.
   • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
4. Season and serve:
   • Remove the meat and radish from the pot and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
   • Return the meat and radish to the pot. Season with salt to taste.
   • Ladle the soup into individual bowls.
   • To make the spicy paste (다대기), combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
   • Serve the soup with a dollop of spicy paste and garnish with chopped green onions.

Tips:

• Soaking: Soaking the beef knuckle in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking can help remove any blood clots and reduce the strong meaty flavor.
• Slow cooking: The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful and tender the meat will become.
• Flavor enhancements: You can add other ingredients to the soup for additional flavor, such as dried dates, jujube, or a few slices of pear.
• Serving suggestions: Dogani tang is traditionally served with rice, but it can also be enjoyed with noodles or dumplings.

• Rich in Collagen: Ox knee is a great source of collagen, which is beneficial for skin health, joint health, and overall well-being.
• High in Protein: It’s a good source of protein, essential for muscle growth and repair.
• Low in Fat: A relatively low-fat dish, making it a healthier choice.
