Gamja jorim is a sweet, savory and just slightly spicy potato side dish -- you can eat it with rice and kimchi, or other banchan.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 lb baby potatoes, or small potatoes cut in half / quartered (red or yellow)
1 tbsp salt
1 cup of stock from either dried thick seaweed (dashima) or chicken/beef stock
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp rice wine (mirin)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sesame oil
black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds
Recipe Steps:
Wash potatoes, leaving skin on.
Bring 2-3 cups of water to a boil with 1 tsp of the salt. Boil for about 5 minutes -- you should be able to put a chopstick through them when done. Turn the heat off and set it aside.
Put dashima stock (or chicken/beef broth) in a saucepan, adding soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine, 1 tsp salt, garlic, ginger and vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and add potatoes.
When it starts to boil, turn the heat down to medium and cook for about 20-25 min. When almost all of the liquid is gone, remove from heat.
Add honey and sesame oil and garnish with sesame seeds. Can serve warm or cold.
