One of the most popular side dishes in Korea, this Spicy Korean Braised Potato is easy and delicious. It needs just a few ingredients and a simple cooking technique. It is vegan and plant-based. Coated with a sweet and spicy glaze, these Korean glazed potatoes are a show-stopper dish. My kids love Korean food, and other then trying them at restaurants, we love to experiment at home. For breakfast, I love to make Korean Vegetable Pancake and sometimes Korean Crispy Tofu Buddha Bowl, Spicy Korean Style Soba Noodles are my lunch choices. It’s funny how Asian flavors are so much popular in or day to day life. The popularity of K drama among teenagers is creating a strong demand for Korean food and much more. Well, that is for some other day; let’s return to the topic.
What is Spicy Korean Braised Potato?
Gamja Jorim, or Korean braised potato, is a popular veg potato dish. Delicious boiled baby potatoes are pan-fried to perfection and simmered in sweet, spicy sauce. The simmering makes the thick sauce dark in color and very rich in taste. I love this potato dish as an appetizer, but you can try it with cooked sticky rice. This potato dish is a real comfort food.
Ingredients Needed, Baby Potatoes- Any baby potatoes can be used. I have used two types of colored potatoes sold in a bag. Red, white, or yellow, any potato can be used. If you use bigger ones, slice them into two or four slices. Sesame Seeds- White sesame seeds add so much depth of flavor and crunch to the dish. Minced Garlic-Amazing flavor because of minced garlic. Garlic makes everything delicious. Dark Soy Sauce- Honey /Maple Syrup/Brown Sugar Gochugaru Salt Water Green onion- White pepper Powder Cooking Oil
