Korean Braised Potatoes
Tender potatoes braised in a savory-sweet soy sauce until glossy, then finished with sesame oil, scallions, and toasted sesame seeds.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Rinse the potato chunks under cool water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain thoroughly.
-
Step 2
Heat the neutral cooking oil in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and cook, turning occasionally, until their surfaces begin to look translucent.
-
Step 3
Add the water, soy sauce, rice syrup, sugar, and garlic. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar and coat the potatoes.
-
Step 4
Increase to high heat and bring the braising liquid to a boil.
-
Step 5
Cover the saucepan, reduce to low heat, and simmer until the potatoes begin to soften.
-
Step 6
Add the onion and cook uncovered over medium heat, stirring gently, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has reduced to a glossy coating.
-
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Fold in the sesame oil and scallions, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds before serving.
