Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Marinating the potato for 20 minutes in water with salt and starch syrup prevents it from breaking apart during stir-frying and gives it an evenly seasoned, chewy texture.
  • Microwaving the small dried anchovies for 30 seconds reduces fishiness without needing to pan-fry them separately.
  • Leave small kkwarigochu whole and cut only large ones in half so they cook at a similar rate in the same pan.
  • Adding the small dried anchovies after the seasoning is cooked and tossing briefly helps keep them crispy.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a side dish that combines chewy braised potatoes with the aroma of kkwarigochu.
  • Those who enjoy sweet-salty home-style side dishes that highlight the umami of small dried anchovies.
  • Those who need a method for braised potatoes that don't fall apart.
