Gamja Jorim Korean Braised Potatoes

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of water, light and dark soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, garlic and 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the exterior of the potatoes are lightly browned, 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in 3/4 of the soy sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover and cook, until the tip of a knife inserted into the largest pieces meet no resistance, around 10 minutes.

Step 4

Uncover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring gently until the liquid evaporates and the potatoes are glazed, around 5 minutes.

Step 5

Off the heat, stir in the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil and sesame seeds.

Step 6

Serve hot sprinkled with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
