Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start making delicious braised potatoes! First, thoroughly wash the potatoes. Then, peel them and cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 2cm in size. Cutting them uniformly ensures even cooking.
Step 2
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil. Add the cubed potatoes and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are lightly golden brown. This step helps the potatoes absorb the seasoning better and improves their texture.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the flavorful seasoning! In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, sugar, and anchovy sauce. Mix them well to create a uniform seasoning paste. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add an extra half tablespoon of sugar. Alternatively, for a sugar-free option, you can substitute with allulose.
Step 4
Pour the prepared seasoning paste and 250ml of water over the sautéed potatoes. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened to a nice glaze. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Your delicious Gochujang Braised Potatoes are now ready!
