Quick & Easy Gamja Jorim (Korean Braised Potatoes)

Step 1

Rinse baby potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Do not peel.

Step 2

In a large pot filled halfway with water, bring to a boil over medium high heat. Optional: add salt and vinegar to the boiling water. The salt seasons the potato, and the vinegar allows the starchy potatoes to hold their shape better.

Step 3

Boil baby potatoes for 20 minutes until fork tender, uncovered.

Step 4

Once cooked, strain the potatoes in a colander.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine braising sauce ingredients and set aside.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan on medium heat. Fry strained baby potatoes for 2-4 minutes until slightly brown on both sides.

Step 7

Then pour the braising sauce mixture on top of the potatoes. Gently toss potatoes into sauce for 5 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly. Remove off heat. Serve and garnish with green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Enjoy!
