Potato & Soy Sauce Side (Gamja jorim / 감자조림)
This is a Korean side dish and it sounds very good, on my to make list.
Ingredients
- 2-3 medium potatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- ½ cup onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon extra light olive oil
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar, or honey
- ½ cup water, and as needed
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- white sesame seeds, as desired, for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes, and slice into ¾ inch cubes until you have about 2½ cups of cubed potatoes. Place the potatoes in a strainer and run under colder water, and toss them around. Rinse the potatoes for 30 seconds or so to remove some of the starch, set aside to drain.
- Heat a non stick pan on medium heat with the olive oil, when hot, add the onion and saute until the onion is translucent.
- Add the potatoes to the pan and saute until the potatoes start looking translucent, stirring often.
- Add the water, soy sauce, and sugar and stir to mix into the potatoes. Stir often so the potatoes do not burn, and cook until the potatoes are form tender and the liquid is evaporated. Adding more water as needed.
- When the potatoes are tender and cooked through, remove from heat and drizzle on the sesame oil and mix in.
- Pour the potatoes into a serving bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds as desired for garnish.
- Serve as a side with any meal or enjoy as is.
