Gamja Jorim (Braised Potatoes)
Small potatoes braised in a sweet and savory soy sauce-based glaze. A classic Korean side dish that's both sweet and salty.
Ingredients
- 500 g Small potatoes
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Mirin (or rice wine)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Scrub the 500 g of small potatoes clean. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2.54 cm (2.5 cm) in size.
- 2Place a 25.4 cm (25 cm) skillet over medium heat, 162.8°C (160°C). Add the 1 tbsp of vegetable oil.
- 3Once the oil is shimmering, add the prepared potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are lightly browned on all sides.
- 4Pour the 3 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of sugar, 1 tbsp of mirin, and 1 minced clove of garlic into the skillet with the potatoes. Stir everything to combine.
- 5Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, 150°C. Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the sauce has thickened. Stir the potatoes occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- 6If the sauce is not thick enough after 20 minutes, remove the lid and continue to cook for a few more minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- 7Turn off the heat. Stir in the 1 tsp of sesame oil and 1 tsp of sesame seeds until well combined.
