- 1 pack King oyster mushrooms (Baengyi beoseot)
- 30g Sweet potato noodles (Dangmyeon), soaked beforehand
- 1/3 stalk Leek (Daepa)
- 50g Baby cabbage (Albaechu)
- 2 heads Baby bok choy (Cheonggyechae)
Sauce & Seasoning- 1 pack Haidilao Mala Xiang Guo sauce

- 1 pack Haidilao Mala Xiang Guo sauce
- 3 Tbsp Chili oil (Gochutgireum)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables and fish cakes for the Mala Xiang Guo. Blanch the baby bok choy, king oyster mushrooms, baby cabbage, and fish cakes briefly in boiling water. Blanching them for just long enough to wilt them will maintain a pleasant texture. Rinse the blanched ingredients in cold water and drain them well.
Step 2
Next, we’ll blanch the beef belly slices. Using them directly can make the Mala Xiang Guo too greasy and affect the taste. Dip the beef slices into boiling water just until the pink color disappears. Rinse in cold water and drain, pressing to remove excess grease for a cleaner flavor.
Step 3
Now, let’s stir-fry! Heat a pan over low heat and add 3 tablespoons of chili oil. Add the chopped leeks and stir-fry until fragrant, being careful not to burn them. Infusing the oil with leek aroma is key to developing the Mala Xiang Guo’s depth of flavor.
Step 4
Once the leeks are golden brown, add the baby cabbage and baby bok choy. Stir-fry together for 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are lightly coated in the chili oil and have a vibrant color. Keep the heat on low or medium-low to prevent burning the vegetables.
Step 5
When the vegetables are somewhat cooked, open and add the Haidilao Mala Xiang Guo sauce pack. Using a store-bought sauce is a convenient way to achieve a rich, authentic Mala flavor at home.
Step 6
After adding the Mala sauce, toss in the prepared fish cakes, king oyster mushrooms, and blanched beef belly slices. Stir gently with a spatula or chopsticks to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce. You’ll soon smell the delicious aroma as the ingredients meld with the sauce.
Step 7
Finally, add the pre-soaked sweet potato noodles and stir-fry everything together until well combined. The noodles will absorb the sauce, becoming wonderfully chewy and flavorful. Once all ingredients are heated through and the sauce is well distributed, your delicious Mala Xiang Guo is ready!
Step 8
Your generous homemade Mala Xiang Guo is perfectly done! Enjoy it hot for the best taste.
