Korean Braised Potatoes (Gamja Jorim)
These pototoes are a popular Korean side dish and for good reason. They are so addicting! The salty and sweet potatoes are so easy to put together, you'll have it ready in minutes.
Equipment
Non stick pan
Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 1 pound potatoes (I used red new potatoes)
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil (I used avocado oil)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes and cut into about one inch pieces. For my potatoes, I just cut them in half.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.
- In a medium non stick pan, heat oil on medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Potatoes should have a light golden color.
- Pour in the sauce mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the lid and let the liquid thicken to become a glaze on the potatoes. Gently toss the potatoes in the glaze. Test a potato to make sure it's cooked all the way through (if not, just add a little more water). Turn off the heat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and enjoy!
Notes
- Enjoy these potatoes with rice or with other side dishes.
- You can use any type of potato you like! If using starchy potatoes, be careful when flipping as they might fall apart. Fry the potatoes a little longer so the outside can firm up a little more.
- You can also add onions and carrots, but I enjoy using just potatoes.
