Called Gogoma Jorim in Korean, this is a classic example of Korean braising. Jorim means "to boil down," and encompasses a wide style of braised stovetop dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Preparation
- Dice the peeled sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
- In a wide heavy saucepan, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar. Stir and cook for 30 seconds, or until aromatic and well-integrated. Add the sweet potatoes to the pan. Top with enough water to fall just under the top of the sweet potatoes.
- Simmer, uncovered, until the sweet potatoes have softened, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with the sesame seeds.
