Serving count not stated for this recipe, so quantities are shown as written.
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 potatoes (8.8 oz)
- 2/3 cup water
- Seasoning: 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- Seasoning: 1 tablespoon sugar
- Seasoning: 2 tablespoons starch syrup
- Seasoning: 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
- Seasoning: 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Seasoning: 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Method
- Peel the potatoes, cut them into bite-size pieces and soak them briefly in cold water to remove surface starch.
- Heat a little cooking oil in a pan and stir-fry the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes; the oil coating keeps the pieces from breaking apart later.
- Pour in the water and add the soy sauce, sugar and minced garlic, then braise the potatoes for about 10 minutes, dropping the heat from high to medium once the pan boils.
- When the sauce has reduced around the potatoes, add the starch syrup and braise for about 1 minute more so the glaze turns shiny.
- Turn off the heat and toss the potatoes with the sesame oil and sesame seeds.
