Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start making this popular and easy dish, braised baby potatoes! With simple ingredients and a straightforward process, anyone can create a delicious result.
Step 2
First, prepare the baby potatoes. If they are dirty, scrub them thoroughly with a brush to remove all soil. Since we’re cooking them with the skins on, it’s crucial to wash them very clean.
Step 3
Wash the potatoes meticulously since we’ll be cooking them with the skins. Place the clean baby potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover about two-thirds of the potatoes. Boil them until they are about two-thirds cooked. A good test is to insert a chopstick; it should go in with some resistance, indicating they are partially cooked.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are about two-thirds cooked, drain them and quickly rinse under cold water. This helps to stop the cooking process and maintain a pleasant texture.
Step 5
Now it’s time to make the braising sauce that will give the potatoes their delicious flavor. In the pot, combine 1 cup of water, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of oligosaccharide. If you like a bit of heat, you can finely chop 1 chili pepper and add it in. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low heat and let it simmer slowly.
Step 6
Simmering over low heat will allow the sauce to thicken slightly and the baby potatoes to absorb the savory flavors beautifully, giving them a glossy finish. Stir the potatoes occasionally to ensure even coating of the sauce for maximum deliciousness.
Step 7
And there you have it! Your wonderfully savory braised baby potatoes are ready. Enjoy them as a delightful side dish with your meal or as a satisfying snack.
