- 1/2 green onion (scallion)
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 paper cup kelp broth (approx. 200ml)
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Spicy Seasoning Mix- 1 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp Cheongyang chili powder (adjust spiciness to your liking)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp Cheongyang chili powder (adjust spiciness to your liking)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the potatoes thoroughly and then slice them into thick rounds, about 1.5-2 cm thick.
Step 2
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water mixed with a little salt and let them soak for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps prevent the potatoes from breaking apart during braising and allows the sauce to penetrate better.
Step 3
Thinly slice the onion and cut the green onion into diagonal pieces to add a fresh aroma.
Step 4
Heat 2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the drained potatoes and stir-fry until their surfaces are lightly golden. Sautéing them first enhances their flavor and helps them maintain their shape after braising.
Step 5
Add the prepared seasoning mix (gochujang, Cheongyang chili powder, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil) and 1 paper cup of kelp broth to the pan with the sautéed potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the potatoes are cooked through.
Step 6
When the potatoes are almost cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly, add the sliced onion and green onion. Continue to braise together for another 2-3 minutes. The onions and green onions will soften and add their flavor to the dish.
Step 7
Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, turn off the heat. Transfer the braised potatoes to a serving plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor and a beautiful finish. Enjoy your delicious spicy-braised potatoes!
