Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make potatoes in Korean? Prepare your food. Wash and peel the potatoes well.

Step 2

Step 2
Then grate the tubers using a Korean carrot grater, immediately immersing the chopped potatoes in a large volume of water. When all the potatoes are grated, rinse the thin “strings” in 2-3 waters. This will wash the starch out of the potatoes and they will not fall apart during cooking.

Step 3

Step 3
Boil about 2 liters of water over high heat, add 1 tsp. salt. Immerse part of the potatoes in rapidly boiling water (more water will be needed for the entire volume). After boiling, boil the potatoes for about a minute and place in a sieve. Boil the entire mass of potatoes in the same way.

Step 4

Place the potatoes prepared in this way in a spacious container, add the rest of the salt, sugar, lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), coriander and spices to your taste. You can use a ready-made set of spices for Korean dishes.

Peel and chop the garlic in any way — on a grater, with a knife or in a press. Place it on the potatoes and pour hot vegetable oil on top. To do this, heat it well in a saucepan over high heat. Mix all ingredients and refrigerate for several hours. Stir the potatoes occasionally.
