Method

  1. 1 Peel the potatoes, cut them into 2 cm cubes, and soak them in cold water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
  2. 2 Sauté the garlic in oil, then add the potatoes and stir-fry for 3 minutes until the surface is slightly browned.
  3. 3 Add just enough water to cover the ingredients, along with soy sauce and sugar, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  4. 4 Simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the potatoes with a glossy sheen.
  5. 5 Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds, then turn off the heat.
