Spicy Korean Potatoes (Gamja Jorim) image

This is a wonderful side dish from Korea. At nearly every meal, Koreans have a custom of serving a variety of different banchan (or side dishes) that complement the main entree, soups, and other courses that are typically served with each meal. This banchan (or side dish) is a little different than other similar recipes in that...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp vegetable oil (or canola oil)
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, sliced
1 Tbsp gochujang (korean red pepper paste)
1 tsp gochugaru (korean red chile powder)
2 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp white granulated sugar
1 tsp light corn syrup
1 Tbsp water (or more if needed, for consistency)
1 Tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and onions, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes or until the onions are soft.
  • 2. Add the gochujang, gochugaru, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, corn syrup, and 1 Tbsp water (adding more water, 1 Tbsp at a time, if needed). Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender and lightly browned on the outside.
  • 3. Garnish with sesame seeds, and serve immediately while still hot. (Another option is allow the potatoes to cool and served at room temperature).

I love making this recipe in my air fryer. The potatoes come out perfectly crispy and the sauce is amazing. I also like to add a little bit of sesame oil to the sauce for extra flavor.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was so glad I did! The potatoes were crispy and flavorful, and the sauce had just the right amount of heat for me. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this recipe for my Korean friend and she said it was the best gamja jorim she had ever had. She said it tasted just like her grandmother used to make it. I was so happy to hear that I had made her a delicious meal.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I made it with some leftover mashed potatoes and it turned out great. The potatoes were crispy and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

Unbelievably delicious! I made this last night and my family loved it. The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The sauce was amazing - sweet, spicy, and a little bit tangy. I will definitely be making this
