KOREAN SWEET SOY-GLAZED POTATOES (GAMJA BOKKEUM) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, sugar, fish sauce, and garlic until sugar is dissolved, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
• Remove lid and increase heat to high. Cook, uncovered, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until liquid has reduced and thickened to a sticky caramel consistency that fully glazes the potatoes, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and transfer potatoes to serving bowl. Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.

GOCHUJANG-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Rinse potatoes in a colander to remove excess starch. Drain.
• Place potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil and salt; toss to coat. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir, cover again, and microwave until fork-tender, about 2 minutes more. Drain well.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk remaining oil, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in the same bowl. Return potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat. Spread on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring once or twice, until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Garnish with scallions and a drizzle of lime juice.

KOREAN POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add potatoes; stir-fry until browned in spots and partially cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• While potatoes are cooking, mix water, soy sauce, ketchup, corn syrup, sugar, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl.
• Pour soy sauce mixture over potatoes. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender and sauce thickens, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and toss to coat.

GAMJA JORIM (KOREAN BRAISED POTATOES)

Steps:

• Rinse the potatoes thoroughly - use a scrubber to remove any dirt if needed. (I used pre-washed potatoes and it was very easy to clean them.) Trim off any bruised spots if needed. Cut the potatoes in half if your potatoes are bigger than a small egg.
• Preheat a large (shallow) braising pot over medium high heat. Add some oil (1 Tbsp) and spread it well. Add the potatoes and drizzle more oil (1 Tbsp) over them. Pan fry the potatoes over medium heat for about 25 mins. Turn them around often to avoid burning. Alternatively, you could roast the potatoes in the oven at 200 C / 392 F for 30 mins. I actually prefer oven roasting as it's less hands on.
• Once the outer layer of potato is nicely cooked and browned, add the water and the braising sauce. Bring it to boil over medium high heat (about 2 mins). Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes until the most sauce is boiled away (about 15 mins), leaving about 5-6 Tbsp worth sauce in the pot.Reduce the heat to low. Add the honey, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Gently toss to coat while you continue to simmer until the sauce thickens (another 15 mins). Potatoes should be all cooked by now.Continue to simmer to achieve darker colored potatoes (because it looks more appealing) and to make the sauce stickier. You may turn the heat up to medium to quicken this process. Stir often. Remove from the heat.
• Serve with a bowl of steamed rice. The potatoes taste better once cooled down for about 30 mins in the fridge.
