- 1 Tbsp Dashida (beef bouillon powder, commercial brand)

- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili powder)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare about 10 fresh potatoes. Potatoes of varying sizes are perfectly fine for this recipe.
Step 2
Get your commercial beef Dashida ready. This ingredient will add a savory depth to your stir-fry.
Step 3
Prepare the gochugaru, which will give the dish its characteristic spicy flavor and vibrant color.
Step 4
Peel the potatoes thoroughly and wash them under running water. Slice larger potatoes into half-moons and smaller potatoes into rounds. This ensures the seasoning penetrates evenly. Aim for slices about 0.7cm thick.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
Step 6
Pour in 1.5 cups (approximately 270ml) of water. Maintain medium-low heat to prevent the ingredients from burning.
Step 7
Add all the sliced potatoes to the frying pan.
Step 8
Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to season the potatoes.
Step 9
Add 2 tablespoons of gochugaru and 1 tablespoon of Dashida. Stir to combine the seasonings with the potatoes.
Step 10
Reduce the heat to low and let the potatoes simmer and stir-fry for about 20 minutes. It’s crucial to stir occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.
Step 11
Gently stir the potatoes with a ladle or spatula once or twice to ensure the gochugaru-seasoned broth is evenly distributed. If the sauce becomes too thick, add another 1/2 cup (approximately 90ml) of water to keep it nicely saucy.
Step 12
Your delicious Gochugaru Potato Stir-fry is ready! Once the pan has cooled slightly, use a ladle to transfer the stir-fry into a storage container. The gochugaru seasoning will have beautifully permeated the potatoes, making this dish incredibly tasty!
