Vegan Gamja Jorim (Braised Potatoes)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Red)
• 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1/2 cup Water
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
• 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 1 lb Potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
3. 3Add the cut potatoes to the hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned on the edges.
4. 4Add the 3 tablespoons of Soy Sauce, 2 tablespoons of Sugar, 1/2 cup of Water, and 2 minced cloves of Garlic to the skillet with the potatoes.
5. 5Stir everything together and bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 20-25 minutes. Stir the potatoes occasionally to make sure they don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
6. 6The potatoes are done when they are tender when poked with a fork and the sauce has thickened slightly. If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid and cook for a few more minutes over medium heat until it reaches your desired consistency.
7. 7Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the 1 teaspoon of Sesame Oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with the 1 teaspoon of Toasted Sesame Seeds just before serving.
