Gamja Jorim (Braised Potatoes)

Nguyên liệu

• 1.5 pounds potatoes (about 3 medium size)
• 1 carrot (about 3 ounces) (See note 1)
• 2 to 3 green chili peppers (or 1/2 green bell pepper)
• 1/4 medium onion
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce ((or 2 T soy sauce and 1 T gochujang) See note 2)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice wine (or mirin) (You can omit it if unavailable)
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup (or oilgodang) (Or use 1 tablespoon more sugar)
• 1 teaspoon  minced garlic
• pinch black pepper
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds

Cách làm

1. 1

   Peel and cut potatoes into about 1-inch cubes. Cut the carrot, peppers, and onion into big chunks.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine all the braising liquid ingredients except the sesame oil and seeds. Stir well.

3. 3

   In a non-stick pan (or a small pot), sauté the potatoes in cooking oil over medium heat for 4 - 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so the potatoes don't stick to the pan.

4. 4

   Add the sauce mix and bring it to a boil over high heat. Drop the carrot pieces in. Cover, and reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are almost cooked through (about 5 to 6 minutes, depending on the type or size of potatoes). The potatoes should be firm and not mushy.

5. 5

   Stir in the green peppers and onion, and continue to boil (uncover this time) until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. The potatoes will continue to soak up the sauce even after being cooked. Stir in the sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
