Cooking Attempt #8: 감자조림 (Potato side dish)

I'm on a cooking roll, lately. Anyway, I was sick of having no more than 2 side dishes at a time, so I decided to make something else to add to my fridge!

This recipe is one of many Korean potato side dishes. It's a nice mix of saltiness (from the soy sauce) and sweetness (from honey).

5 medium sized potatoes - chopped into largish chunks
1 onion - chopped
crushed garlic - 1 tbsp
soy sauce - 12 tbsp
water - 1/2 cup
sesame oil - 1 tbsp
honey - 3 tbsp and then to taste

First you put the potato chunks in a large pot with lots of water and start bring it up to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and leave on the stove until the potatoes are almost done cooking. Meanwhile, mix the onion, garlic and soy sauce together in a bowl. Drain the potatoes and put them back in the pot on low heat. Add the onion, garlic, soy sauce mixture. Then add water to the pot. Stir frequently, making sure that the potatoes get coated with the sauce. When the sauce starts to thicken, add the sesame oil and stir. Turn off the heat. Add honey and stir.

I like mine a little sweet, so just keep tasting and experimenting.
