Share:
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds potatoes (about 3 medium size)
- 1 carrot (about 3 ounces) See note 1
- 2 to 3 green chili peppers (or 1/2 green bell pepper)
- 1/4 medium onion
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Braising liquid:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or 2 T soy sauce and 1 T gochujang) See note 2
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice wine (or mirin) You can omit it if unavailable
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup (or oilgodang) Or use 1 tablespoon more sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- pinch black pepper
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Peel and cut potatoes into about 1-inch cubes. Cut the carrot, peppers, and onion into big chunks.
- In a small bowl, combine all the braising liquid ingredients except the sesame oil and seeds. Stir well.
- In a non-stick pan (or a small pot), sauté the potatoes in cooking oil over medium heat for 4 - 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so the potatoes don't stick to the pan.
- Add the sauce mix and bring it to a boil over high heat. Drop the carrot pieces in. Cover, and reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are almost cooked through (about 5 to 6 minutes, depending on the type or size of potatoes). The potatoes should be firm and not mushy.
- Stir in the green peppers and onion, and continue to boil (uncover this time) until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. The potatoes will continue to soak up the sauce even after being cooked. Stir in the sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Notes
- This dish can be made simply with just potatoes. The other vegetables in this recipe are only guidelines. You can use other vegetables of your choice such as red/orange bell pepper, scallions, garlic cloves, and mushrooms.

- If using gochugaru (Korean chili pepper flakes) to add a spicy kick, you don't need to change anything in the recipe. Try 1 to 3 teaspoons to your taste.
