Kim Dae-seok's Spam Braised Potatoes

Cooking tips 💡

• Soaking potatoes in salt water before cooking helps reduce internal moisture, making the flesh firmer and preventing them from breaking apart easily during cooking.
• Adding 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce to the soy sauce-based glaze eliminates the greasy or heavy taste typical of braised dishes and enhances a deep, savory umami flavor.
• Before opening the spam can, tap the edges firmly against a hard surface to break the vacuum seal, allowing the contents to slide out smoothly.
• Adding only about 1/2 tablespoon of gochujang gives a balanced sweetness and saltiness while creating an appealing reddish sheen on the dish.
