There’s this great sidedish at Korean Grill House that I always end up hoarding. After a quick trip to P.A.T. didn’t show any sources for this spicy and savoury dish. So I headed to Maangchi for a recipe and cooked up my first batch. It needs some tweaking but I was satisfied with my first attempt. Recipe from Maagnchi is below:

Ingredients:

2-3 medium sized potatoes

onion

2 cloves garlic

soy sauce

1 tbs corn syrup

1 tbs sugar

half cup of water.

Recipe:

1. Peel the potatoes, wash, and cut them into 1 inch dice and make 2 cups.

2. Rinse the potato using colander in running water to remove starch.

3. Cut half onion into bite sized pieces.

4. Heat the pan and add 1-2 tbs olive oil and pour the potato into the pan.

5. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté it until the potato look a little translucent, then add the onion and keep stirring it.

6. Add half cup of water into the pan, 2 tbs – 2½ tbs soy sauce (depends on your taste), 1 tbs of sugar, 1 tbs of corn syrup and mix it and simmer it over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the liquid is evaporated.Tip: Keep checking and stirring not to burn it and to cook evenly, if it needs more water, add some.

7. When the potato is cooked, turn off the stove and add 1 tbs of sesame oil and sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds.
