Instructions

Step 1

Peel and cut the potatoes to 1-inch cubes (you can also keep the skin off, if you prefer). Peel and cut the carrots and onions into big chunks.

Step 2

Wash the potatoes to remove the starch.

Step 3

In a pan, add the cooking oil. Put the potatoes and carrots in. Pan-fry the potatoes until they turn slightly golden around the edges.

Step 4

Add garlic and onion and cook until they look translucent.

Step 5

Add the ingredients for the braising liquid in (i.e. soy sauce, maple syrup, rice wine and water). Mix and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until when the liquid is evaporated. Remember to stir occasionally so that the potatoes don't stick.

Step 6

Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds to your taste.

Enjoy!
