  • 1/2 bell pepper (using various colors makes it more visually appealing)

Seasoning

  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 Tbsp corn syrup or honey
  • 1/2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup water or anchovy-dashima broth (approx. 100ml)
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Pinch of sesame seeds

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Dice the potatoes, carrot, and onion into approximately 1.5cm cubes. Slice the red chili peppers and bell pepper to a similar size. If using whole garlic cloves, slice them thinly.

Step 1

Step 2

The bell pepper is optional and adds color. If you prefer a spicier dish, you can substitute the red chili peppers with Cheongyang chili peppers. Adjust the amount to your preference.

Step 2

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1.5 Tbsp gochujang, 2 Tbsp corn syrup, 1/2 Tbsp sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to create the sauce. Finally, add 1/2 cup of water or broth and stir until the seasoning is well dissolved.

Step 3

Step 4

Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Once the garlic is aromatic, add the cubed potatoes and stir-fry over medium-low heat until they begin to turn translucent. Then, add the carrot and onion and continue to stir-fry. Once the vegetables are somewhat cooked, pour in all the prepared sauce and mix evenly. Cover the pan and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Step 5

After 5 minutes, remove the lid and check if the potatoes are tender by piercing them with a fork. Once the potatoes are cooked, add the sliced red chili peppers and bell pepper. Continue to simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. It’s important to stir gently to prevent the potatoes from breaking apart. If there’s too much liquid, simmer a little longer.

Step 5

Step 6

Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for added sweetness and nutty flavor. Your delicious Spicy and Sweet Gochujang Potato Stir-fry is ready!
