Gamja Jorim (Spicy Braised Potatoes)

These potatoes are so good! I really love the spicy-sweet sauce.

Make sure to use vegetarian oyster sauce if you'd like this dish to be vegetarian. For a vegan dish, double-check to make sure the sugar you're using is vegan as well.

Ingredients

  • 500g potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp. light (regular) soy sauce
  • 1/2 Tbsp. dark soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. gochujang
  • 1 Tbsp. gochugaru
  • 1 Tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil, divided
  • 1/8 tsp. black peppercorns, ground
  • 5 cloves garlic, halved
  • 1 Tbsp. canola (or other neutral) oil
  • 1 c. water
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 7 shishito peppers, halved and seeded
  • 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Peel the potatoes, cut them into 1.5cm cubes, and submerge them in cold water.
  2. Mix the light soy, dark soy, gochujang, gochugaru, oyster sauce, sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 Tbsp. of the sesame oil, and the pepper together and set aside.
  3. Heat a wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Drizzle the canola oil down the sides of the wok and swirl to coat.
  5. Drain the potaotes and add them to the wok along with the garlic. If desired, reserve 1 c. of the potato soaking water for use later in the recipe.
  6. Stir-fry the potatoes and garlic for ~5 minutes.
  7. Reduce heat to medium and add the sauce. Stiry-fry for another 2 minutes.
  8. Add the water. (You may use the reserved potato water here if you'd like.)

  10. Add the green onions, shishito peppers, and remaining 1/2 Tbsp. of sesame oil.
  11. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve!
