Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’ll share an easy and detailed recipe for ‘Soy-Braised Potatoes,’ a dish that’s irresistibly delicious and loved by all ages. With this recipe, you’ll achieve perfectly firm, glossy, and flavorful braised potatoes. Let’s get started!
Step 2
First, peel the potatoes and cut them into large cubes (about 2-3 cm or 1 inch). Cutting them too small can cause them to break apart during cooking, so maintaining a good size is key. Slice the onion thinly and chop the chili peppers. If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to use Korean red chili peppers (cheongyang peppers).
Step 3
Now, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the pan is sufficiently hot, add the cubed potatoes and begin to stir-fry them.
Step 4
As you stir-fry, ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with oil. Continue to cook until the surface of the potatoes starts to look slightly translucent (about 5-7 minutes). This step helps the exterior of the potatoes to cook slightly, maintaining their shape.
Step 5
When the potatoes are about one-third cooked and appear translucent, carefully pour in 1/3 cup of water (approximately 70ml). Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of oligosaccharide, and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds. Stir well to combine the seasoning. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the potatoes are cooked through.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are almost fully cooked and look translucent (about halfway done), add the sliced onions and chopped chili peppers to the pan. Continue to stir-fry together for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the sauce has thickened slightly, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors. Taste and add a little more soy sauce if needed.
Step 7
Your delicious soy-braised potatoes are ready! They are absolutely wonderful served over a bowl of hot rice. The combination of fluffy texture and savory seasoning makes this a favorite side dish for both children and adults. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Enjoy your cooking!
