Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)
- Small New Potatoes 400g
Seasonings
- Vegetable Oil 2 tbsp
- White Sesame Seeds 1 tsp
- [A] Water 1 cup
- [A] Soy Sauce 3 tbsp
- [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
- [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- [A] Honey 2 tbsp
- [A] Garlic 1 clove
- [A] Black Peppercorns 20
Steps
- Wash 400g of small new potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- While still moist from washing, heat the new potatoes in the microwave until tender. They are ready when a skewer passes through them easily.
- Crush 1 clove of garlic.
- Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a frying pan. Wipe the moisture off the heated new potatoes and sauté them until they are lightly browned and fragrant.
- Add 1 cup of water, 1 tbsp of sugar, 3 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of cooking sake (rice wine), 2 tbsp of honey, the crushed 1 clove of garlic, and 20 black peppercorns to the frying pan and reduce the liquid. (Key tip!) Adding both sugar and honey enhances richness and sheen.
- Simmer until the potatoes are well-infused with flavor and the sauce has thickened.
- Transfer to a serving dish, generously spoon over the remaining sauce, and sprinkle with 1 tsp of white sesame seeds to finish. (Key tip!) Letting them sit overnight makes the potatoes even chewier and they taste great cold, perfect for bento boxes or snacks.
