• scallions (or chives) 3~4 stalks
• soy sauce 4 tablespoons
• cooking wine 2 tablespoons

• cooking oil 2 tablespoons
• jujube syrup 4 tablespoons
• sesame seeds 1 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Frying the potatoes in oil for about 5 minutes before stewing removes excess moisture, resulting in an even chewier texture and allowing the sauce to penetrate better between the wrinkles.
• Adding jujube syrup or corn syrup too early can cause the potatoes to become tough, so always add it at the very end to maintain a soft, subtly sweet flavor and glossy appearance.
• The slight spiciness from green chili peppers and red pepper flakes balances the salty-sweet profile, preventing the dish from becoming overly rich or boring.
