Steps
- 01
Discard spoiled or green potatoes. Scrub 450 g of small baby potatoes with skins on and drain; quail-egg-sized potatoes work best.
- 02
Put the potatoes and 2 tbsp oil in a heavy skillet, cover and cook over medium heat.
- 03
Cook for roughly 20 minutes, carefully tossing every five minutes. Pierce the largest potato to check it is tender to the center; cook longer if needed.
- 04
Reduce to low heat; stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 3 tbsp rice syrup and 1 minced garlic clove. Take care when adding liquid to a hot skillet.
- 05
Return to medium heat and stir for about four to five minutes until the glaze reduces and turns glossy.
- 06
Turn off heat, stir in 1 tsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve with rice and refrigerate leftovers promptly.
