Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
- 250 ml water
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp honey (or corn syrup)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 stalk green onion (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger than bite-size, cut them into halves or quarters.
Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the potatoes to the pan and sauté them for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the surfaces are lightly golden.
Pour 250 ml of water into the pan, followed by 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
After 15 minutes, remove the lid and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid reduces into a thick, glossy glaze that coats the potatoes.
Turn off the heat and drizzle 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil over the potatoes. Stir to coat evenly.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds. If desired, garnish with thinly sliced green onion.
