In Asian countries, they often eat potatoes as vegetables and it is served as a side dish with a bowl rice. These Korean braised potatoes (Gamja jorim) are served as banchang along with several other side dishes. Along with tofu with gochujang -sauce and one (or more) of these banchang you have a delicious Korean meal. The taste is not very distinctly Korean, so the potatoes also pair well with other Asian dishes.

Because it's so easy and really delicious, it's a very popular dish in Korea. I usually let my boyfriend take the leftovers from the day before to work, because I am going to make something new anyway cook. That was not the case with these potatoes, as I was too eager to eat them myself. They are delicious both hot and cold, so they are also good as lunch or as a snack.

The recipe for these bantams comes from Caroline Hwang'sKorean food made easy ️. The only reason this book is not among the favorite cookbooks on this website is that it is not exactly a vegetarian book, let alone vegan. However, it does contain lots of delicious dishes, which are also generally very easy to make. Much easier than The Korean Vegan cookbook by Joanne Lee Molinaro ️ (which, by the way, is highly recommended if you like Korean cook ).
