Recipe

Cut the potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces.
Place the prepared potatoes in a pot and add enough water to fully submerge them.
Add all the braising sauce ingredients at once, then close the lid tightly.
Turn the heat to high and boil vigorously for about 12 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.
Open the lid, flip the potatoes once to ensure even color, then cover and simmer again.
When the liquid is almost gone, simmer until the potatoes are fluffy and break apart easily when poked with chopsticks, and a starchy coating forms.

Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces, place in pot with water and sauce.
Cover and boil on high heat until liquid reduces.
Flip potatoes and continue simmering until completely tender and fluffy.

Cooking tips

If the sauce reduces too quickly due to high heat, don't panic—just add a little more water and continue boiling.
The dish is done when the potatoes are fully cooked and easily mash when pressed with tongs or chopsticks.
