120ml water

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp mirin

1 tbsp sugar or corn syrup

Pinch of salt (for pre-seasoning)

Recipe

Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, about the size of a 500-won coin, and divide them evenly into 4-6 portions.
Fill a pot with enough water to cover the potatoes, add a pinch of salt for seasoning, and boil the potatoes over high heat for 10 minutes until about 80% cooked.
Once the potato surfaces are slightly softened and the centers are still slightly firm, drain all the boiled water.
Dice the beef into cubes, and add it along with the prepared kkwari peppers to the pot with the potatoes.
Add 120ml water, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, and 1 tbsp sugar (or corn syrup) to the pot in order.
Turn the heat to the highest setting, cover the pot, and wait until the simmering sauce comes to a boil.
As soon as the sauce boils, remove the lid and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes until the sauce at the bottom is almost completely reduced.
Once the sauce has fully reduced and the potatoes are cooked through, turn off the heat and transfer to a container to complete the dish.

Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces, parboil in salted water for 10 minutes until 80% cooked, then drain.
Add diced beef, kkwari peppers, and simmering sauce ingredients (water, soy sauce, mirin, sugar) to the parboiled potatoes, cover, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, remove the lid and simmer, stirring, for about 5-6 minutes until the sauce is almost completely reduced.

Cooking tips

Parboiling the potatoes in salted water before simmering them directly in the sauce ensures they cook through evenly and become fluffy, significantly reducing the chance of burning.
To store the finished potato jorim for a longer period, transfer only the solid ingredients to a storage container, minimizing the amount of remaining liquid or sauce at the bottom to prevent spoilage.
Cut the potato pieces to a uniform size to ensure they cook evenly without any parts being undercooked or overly mushy.
