Main Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1/2 onion
  • 3 cheongyang peppers (Korean spicy peppers)
  • 1 red pepper

Seasoning Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce (anchovy or crab-based)
  • 2 Tbsp rice syrup (or sugar/corn syrup)
  • 2 Tbsp perilla oil
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • A little sesame seeds
  • 200ml water

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, peel the potatoes and cut them into large, bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm). Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain them well. Slice the onion and thinly slice the cheongyang peppers and red pepper diagonally. (If you like it spicier, adjust the amount of cheongyang peppers or leave the seeds in.)

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of perilla oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and the cut potatoes and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the potato surfaces become slightly translucent and begin to cook.

Step 3

Now, add 200ml of water. Stir in the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, fish sauce, rice syrup, the remaining 1 tablespoon of perilla oil, and black pepper, ensuring the seasoning is well combined. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through.
