Korean Braised Potatoes

Korean Braised Potatoes is a delicious and comforting dish that features tender potatoes infused with savory flavors, perfect for a hearty keto dinner. This dish combines the umami of soy sauce and the sweetness of erythritol to create a delightful balance that complements the potatoes beautifully.

Ingredients

• Potatoes - 300 grams (about 2 medium potatoes)
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 2 tablespoons
• Erythritol - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Ginger (minced) - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 200 milliliters
• Black pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a medium pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the potatoes to the pot and stir to coat them with the oil, garlic, and ginger mixture.
4. Pour in the soy sauce, erythritol, and water, then stir well to combine.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
6. Uncover the pot, increase the heat to medium, and let the sauce reduce for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Season with black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
