Savory Braised Potatoes
Fluffy and Delicious Soy-Braised Potatoes: The Golden Recipe using Seasonal Potatoes
Let’s make fluffy soy-braised potatoes using seasonal potatoes. This recipe is simple, yet perfect as a side dish for rice.
Main Ingredients- 3 medium potatoes
- 1/2 onion
- 2 chili peppers (e.g., mild green or red chili)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the ingredients for delicious soy-braised potatoes. This recipe involves stir-frying the potatoes before braising, so the key is to maintain their fluffy texture without them falling apart.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes, wash them thoroughly, and cut them into 1.5cm cubes. Cutting them too small can cause them to break apart during cooking, so aim for a moderate size. Slice the onion thinly and thinly slice the chili peppers diagonally, removing the seeds.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the cubed potatoes and begin to stir-fry. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the surface of the potatoes becomes slightly translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are about 1/3 cooked and starting to turn translucent, carefully add 1/3 cup (approx. 60ml) of water. Once the water boils, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of oligosaccharide, stirring well to coat the potatoes. Cover the pan and simmer over medium heat until the potatoes are about halfway cooked.
Step 5
When the potatoes are semi-cooked and translucent, add the sliced onion and diagonally sliced chili peppers. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and the potatoes to absorb the flavor. Stir occasionally to prevent burning and adjust the heat as needed.
Step 6
Once the sauce has nearly reduced and the potatoes look glossy, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds on top. Stir gently to combine, and your fluffy and delicious soy-braised potatoes are ready! Serve them over warm rice for a delightful meal.
Step 7
These soy-braised potatoes are not only visually appealing because they hold their shape, but their savory and slightly sweet flavor makes them a perfect pairing with rice. If you have leftover potatoes, be sure to try this recipe!
