Gamja Jorim (Braised Potatoes)
Sweet and savory braised potatoes, a popular Korean side dish that's great as a snack.
Ingredients
- about 450 g Potatoes
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
- 1/2 cup Water
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place about 450 g of potatoes in a large skillet or pan. Add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Heat the pan over medium heat, about 150°C. Cook the potatoes for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to look slightly browned.
- 2Add the 3 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of sugar, 1 tbsp of mirin, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 1/2 cup of water to the pan with the potatoes. Stir everything together. Turn the heat up slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- 3Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, about 95°C. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. The potatoes should become tender, and the sauce will start to thicken.
- 4Remove the lid from the pan. Continue to cook uncovered for another 5 minutes. This will allow the sauce to reduce further and coat the potatoes nicely.
- 5Stir in 1 tsp of sesame oil until it is well combined with the potatoes and sauce.
- 6Transfer the Gamja Jorim to a serving dish. Sprinkle the 1 tsp of sesame seeds over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
