Gamja Jorim (Braised Potatoes)
Small potatoes braised in a sweet and savory soy sauce-based glaze. A popular Korean side dish that's great as a snack too.
Ingredients
- 500 g Small Potatoes
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Wash the 500 g Small Potatoes. Peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, about 2.54 cm by 2.54 cm.
- 2In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the 3 tbsp Soy Sauce, 2 tbsp Sugar, 1 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 1 clove Garlic (minced), and 1/2 cup Water. Stir these ingredients together.
- 3Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat (190.6°C / 190°C). Bring the liquid to a rolling boil, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
- 4Carefully add the prepared potato pieces to the boiling sauce in the pot. Reduce the heat to medium (148.9°C / 150°C).
- 5Cover the pot and let the potatoes simmer for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the potatoes cook evenly and the sauce coats them. The potatoes are done when they are tender when pierced with a fork and the sauce has thickened into a glaze.
- 6Once the potatoes are tender and glazed, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1 tsp Sesame Oil and the 1 tsp Sesame Seeds.
- 7Serve the Gamja Jorim warm or at room temperature.
