Ingredients
Main Ingredients (3 servings)
- 3 potatoes
- 1/4 onion
- 1/2 cucumber
- 2 slices ham
Seasonings
- 2 tsp sugar
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 20g sesame dressing
- 3g mustard
- A pinch of salt
Steps
- Peel the skin off the potatoes with a peeler.
- Place the 3 potatoes and water in a pot, add sugar, and bring to a boil. After boiling for 10-15 minutes, check for doneness by inserting a bamboo skewer; it should slide through easily. [This is the key!] Boiling from cold water prevents the potatoes from falling apart. Adding sugar makes them moist.
- Cut the cucumber in half and slice thinly. Place in a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for a while to draw out moisture.
- Slice the onion thinly. Place in a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for a while to draw out moisture. [This is the key!] Slicing thinly and salting removes the pungency, making it more delicious.
- Cut the ham into approximately 3cm squares.
- Place the boiled potatoes in a bowl and mash them roughly with a fork or similar utensil. [This is the key!] Don't mash them completely; leaving some texture provides a better mouthfeel.
- Squeeze out the moisture from the salted cucumber and onion, and add them to the bowl with the mashed potatoes.
- Add 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 2 tsp sugar, and the cut ham to the bowl with the potatoes and vegetables.
- Taste and adjust mayonnaise or salt if needed.
- Add 20g sesame dressing and 3g mustard, and mix well until uniform. [This is the key!] The sesame dressing adds richness and umami, while the mustard provides a great accent, creating a deep flavor profile that pairs well with beer. It's also delicious without mustard for children.
- Plate and serve.
