This Man's Cook Gomtang Potato Stew

Potatoes are pre-soaked in corn syrup to draw out moisture, preventing crumbling and preserving a firm, chewy texture. The savory-sweet flavor is amplified with oyster sauce and soy sauce.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Soaking potatoes in corn syrup draws out moisture through osmosis, preventing them from falling apart when stir-fried or simmered, resulting in a chewy texture.
  • Rinsing potatoes in water removes excess starch, preventing them from sticking together during cooking.
  • Avoid stirring too frequently while cooking, as this may cause the potato edges to break; only stir occasionally until moisture evaporates.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a chewy, springy texture like store-bought side dishes instead of crumbly potato stew.
  • Those who want to make a classic savory-sweet side dish without fail.
