Gamja-chae Bokkeum is a popular Korean side dish that features stir-fried julienned potatoes. It’s a simple yet flavorful dish that’s often served alongside other Korean dishes.

Ingredients:

• Potatoes
• Vegetable oil
• Soy sauce
• Gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
• Garlic, minced
• Sugar
• Sesame oil
• Sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin julienne strips.
2. Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Fry the potatoes: Add the julienned potatoes to the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Add seasonings: Add soy sauce, gochugaru, minced garlic, and sugar to the pan. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly.
5. Finish: Add sesame oil and sesame seeds for extra flavor and garnish. Stir to combine.
6. Serve: Serve the stir-fried potatoes hot.

Tips:

• Soak the potatoes in cold water: Soaking the potatoes in cold water after cutting them can help remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying the potatoes. This will help them cook evenly and become crispy.
• Adjust the spice level: You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less gochugaru.
• Other vegetables: You can add other vegetables, such as carrots or onions, to the dish for extra flavor and texture.
