Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

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
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

Steps:

  • 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.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy saue (or sub more soy sauce)
1 tbsp mirin
2-3 tsp sugar
1 tbsp Korean syrup
Pinch of black pepper
1/3 + 2 tbsp water
1 lbs potatoes (500g)
Sesame seeds
Sesame oil

Steps:

  • Add all the braising sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  • Chop the potatoes into 1 - 1 1/2 inch chunks. Rinse the potatoes to remove excess starch. Add 1 1/2 tbsp of cooking oil to a pot or pan and sauté the potatoes over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes. Mix it around and flip the potatoes when you start to hear the bottom sizzle to ensure it doesn't burn, but cooked long enough to get them crispy.
  • Once potatoes are pan fried on all sides, add braising sauce. Bring it to boil over high heat. Stir, cover and reduce to medium heat and let it braise stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes, increase heat to medium high and cook until sauce thickens. Drizzle with sesame oil, sesame seeds and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use small, waxy potatoes that will hold their shape when cooked.
  • If you don't have time to peel the potatoes, you can scrub them well and leave the skins on.
  • To make sure the potatoes are cooked through, pierce them with a fork or skewer. They should be tender all the way through.
  • The sauce for this dish is versatile. You can adjust the amount of soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil to suit your taste.
  • If you want a spicier dish, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or gochugaru (Korean chili powder) to the sauce.
  • Garnish the dish with green onions, sesame seeds, or a sprinkle of nori strips for extra flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Gamja jorim is a simple but delicious Korean dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. The potatoes are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is savory and slightly sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
