Ingredients
Regular flour batter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt (Trader Joe's)
Gluten Free Batter
- 1 1/4 Cup gluten free flour (may vary depending on type of GF flour)
- 1 Cup water
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt (Trader Joe's)
Instructions
- Make dipping batter by mixing flour, water and salt. Mix until smooth. There are 2 recipes for gluten free and regular, make one or the other.
- Peel and remove all sprouts from potatoes. Leave in water until you are ready to cut.
- Cut potatoes into slices around 0.5 cm/0.2 inches thick. If it's too thin, the batter coating will overtake the potato and if it's too thick it will take longer to cook all the way.
- To help the potato cook, pre cook the potato slices in the microwave. About 2 minutes at full power for 3 potatoes.
- Immediately add all the potatoes into the batter and keep it covered. Otherwise the potato will start to turn black pretty quickly.
- Heat about 2 Tbs of oil in a pan on medium high heat.
- Take potato slices coated with batter and then add to the pan. Reduce heat to medium.
- Pan fry in oil for 4-5 minutes on each side. Cook until it is nicely browned.
- While the potatoes are cooking, mix 2 Tbs soy sauce and 1 Tbs vinegar to make Choganjang. See my Korean Sauces I recipes (For Dipping) for other dipping sauce recipes.
- Potatoes are done if you can easily poke through with a chopstick.
Notes
- Serve Gamjajeon hot right from the pan or at room temperature.Store in fridge and reheat on stove top.To serve as appetizer, you can also try serving with some creamy dipping sauce with chives or green onions.
