Notes

  • Recipe Source: House of Annie
  • New potatoes or red potatoes will hold better than Russets, peeled and cut into large pieces. You may use Yukon Gold for slightly creamier texture. 
  • Shallots and garlic: Take your time to sauté and caramelize the shallots and garlic in oil until they turn golden brown. This step enhances the sweetness and aroma of the dish.
  • Taucheo: Opt for a high-quality brand for optimal results. A good quality brand should not be overly salty and the fermented soy beans should have a beautiful golden and light brown color. Avoid brands that is dark brown in color. 
  • Potatoes: New potatoes or red potatoes will hold better than Russets, peeled and cut into large pieces. You may use Yukon Gold for slightly creamier texture.
