Looking for a spicy and delicious appetizer that will leave your taste buds tingling? Look no further than Spicy Korean Potato Strips! This dish is perfect for those who love a little heat in their food, and it's easy to make too.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to cut the potatoes into thin strips so they cook evenly and get crispy.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Adjust the amount of gochujang to your liking. If you prefer less heat, use less chili paste.
Cooking Process:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with the vegetable oil until evenly coated.
3. Heat a large non-stick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato strips and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Reduce the heat to low and add the gochujang mixture to the pan. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the potatoes are fully coated.
5. Serve the Spicy Korean Potato Strips hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
