Gamja Jorim (Korean Potato Dish)
Ingredients
- 2 cups yellow potatoes, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 dried Thai bird chiles, or to taste
- 3 scallions, white and green parts chopped separately, or to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup water
- 2.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Steps
- Rinse cubed potatoes in a colander under cold water to remove starch; shake well to remove excess water.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir dried chiles until puffed and beginning to blacken, about 4 minutes. Remove from skillet. Increase heat to medium-high.
- Place potatoes in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until translucent around the edges, about 5 minutes. Add scallion whites and garlic; saute for 1 minute. Mix in water, soy sauce, corn syrup, and sugar. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender and sauce is thickened, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Remove potato saute from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with scallion greens.
