What is Spicy Korean Braised Potato?
Gamja Jorim, or Korean braised potato, is a popular veg potato dish. Delicious boiled baby potatoes are pan-fried to perfection and simmered in sweet, spicy sauce. The simmering makes the thick sauce dark in color and very rich in taste.
I love this potato dish as an appetizer, but you can try it with cooked sticky rice. This potato dish is a real comfort food.
