Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make incredibly chewy and delicious braised baby potatoes. This is a magical side dish that disappears from the table in no time!
Step 2
The key to great braised baby potatoes is to cook them with the skins on! First, thoroughly wash the baby potatoes under running water. It’s important to scrub them well to remove any dirt or debris from the skins.
Step 3
Place the cleaned baby potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover them completely. Adding 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar to the water will help clean the potatoes even more effectively. Boil for 10 minutes.
Step 4
When boiling the baby potatoes, ensure the water completely covers them in the pot. This is important for even cooking.
Step 5
After draining the boiled baby potatoes, remove any excess water from the pot. Add 1/3 cup of soy sauce, 1/3 cup of corn syrup (or rice syrup), and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Step 6
Once the sauce has slightly thickened, reduce the heat to low. Gently roll the potatoes around in the sauce for about 5 more minutes. This step allows the savory and sweet glaze to deeply penetrate the potatoes, resulting in a perfectly seasoned exterior and tender interior.
Step 7
And there you have it – delicious braised baby potatoes! The perfect balance of savory and sweet, combined with a delightfully chewy texture, will make you want to eat them with every meal. They’re a fantastic and easy dish for both kids and adults.
