Doganitang

도가니탕
Do-ga-ni-tang

Beef-knee collagen soup

About the dish

Dogani is the cartilage of the cow's knee, so rich in collagen that it was prized as a restorative for the joints and for flagging strength. Simmered long with leg bones until the broth turns milky white, doganitang is a dish of time and devotion.

Key ingredient

Beef (sogogi) — quality protein and essential amino acids for muscle and stamina; iron and zinc help support healthy iron levels and support immune health, while B vitamins fight fatigue. Year-round, mainly from Hoengseong & Hongcheon.

Ingredients

Main: dogani (beef knee cartilage), beef leg bones, radish, scallion · Seasoning: salt, pepper, minced scallion, soup soy sauce
