Korean side dish (banchan): Soy sauce braised potatoes (Gamja Jorim)

This dish is popular side dish served at many Korean restaurants. It is sweet, savory and creamy. When I was growing up in Korea, my mom packed this for my lunch as a side dish. This recipe has perfect balance of sweet and savory flavor. It can be a quick meal with rice.


*When stir frying the potatoes, coat every side with oil. It keeps the potatoes from being mushy at the end. Keep the lid on. It makes the cooking process faster.

*Cook potatoes with lid on for about 6 to 7 minutes. Then add carrots and onions and cook for another 5 minutes with lid on. Cook additional 15 minutes with lid off until the sauce is reduced. The end result is crisp, tender potatoes, carrots, and onions.
