Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Baby potatoes
- 4 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. If they are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for texture and added flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the skins are slightly crisp and golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 1 cup of water, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and the minced garlic to the pan.
Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the potatoes for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the seasoning.
Once the potatoes are tender and some of the liquid has reduced, remove the lid. Turn up the heat to medium and let the sauce thicken further, turning the potatoes gently to coat them in the glaze.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the potatoes and mix well. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds and the finely chopped green onions on top as a garnish.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish alongside rice and other Korean dishes. Enjoy!
