Advice
Keep the simmer gentle and stir near the end, a calm bubble reduces into a shiny glaze without breaking the potatoes. π«§
Why it works π‘
Potato starch naturally thickens the braising liquid as it reduces, turning soy and garlic into a lacquered syrup that clings instead of sliding off. π‘
Twist πΆοΈ
Add 80 g carrots, cut into small chunks (Β½ cup / 2.8 oz), with the potatoes for a sweeter, more colorful version, or finish with 5 ml perilla oil (1 tsp / 0.17 fl oz) for a more upscale Korean aroma. πΆοΈ
