Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to make a delicious stir-fried potato and onion dish that’s a guaranteed rice-thief. It’s simple yet satisfying, making it a highly recommended recipe for those living alone or busy office workers. Shall we get started?
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the ingredients. Peel the potatoes and cut them into about 1.5cm cubes. Cutting them too small might cause them to break apart during cooking, so aim for a suitable size. Slice the onion or chop it roughly, and finely chop the Korean chili pepper after removing the seeds. Chop the white and green parts of the green onions separately. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat and add the cubed potatoes. Stir gently while stir-frying until the potatoes are about 2/3 cooked. Be mindful of the heat to prevent them from burning.
Step 3
Once the potatoes are partially cooked, add 1/3 cup of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir-fry them together, gently mixing to ensure the seasoning coats the potatoes evenly. If the seasoning seems to be reducing too quickly, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of water to prevent sticking and keep it moist. At this stage, adding the white parts of the green onions will also enhance the flavor.
Step 4
When the potatoes are almost fully cooked, add the sliced onion and chopped Korean chili pepper. Adding the onions later helps maintain their crispness while adding a touch of sweetness. Stir everything together again to allow the seasoning to fully penetrate the potatoes and onions. This method ensures that even when the potatoes are thoroughly cooked, they won’t fall apart and you can enjoy a more delicious stir-fried potato dish.
Step 5
Finally, add the chopped green parts of the green onions and stir-fry for just a moment more. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for added nutty flavor, and your delicious stir-fried potatoes and onions are complete! It’s wonderful served over hot rice or enjoyed simply as a side dish. Enjoy your meal!
