Ingredient Notes
Vegan Butter:

Gochujang:
- This red chili paste balances the sweet, spicy, and salty flavors.
Red Pepper Flakes:
- I prepared this recipe using red chili peppers, to add a spicy taste to the dish. Alternatively, use gochugaru, a spicy powder usually used in Korean foods.
Maple Syrup:
- We used to add sweetness. It also cut the spicy flavor.
Soy sauce:
- Better to use only gluten-free and low-sodium soy sauce.
Water:
- It is used to balance the consistency of the sauce.
Instructions
- First, wash potatoes with clean tape water.
- Shift to a cutting board and cut into cube sizes using a sharp knife.

- Then, add minced garlic and mix it with potatoes. Simmer it again for 3/4 minutes.
- During cooking, mix it thoroughly by using a cooking spoon to avoid burning.

Storage Information
Fridge:
- Seal the leftover potatoes in a closed box/vessel and refrigerate them for 4/7 days.
Freezer:
- You can freeze the remaining potatoes in a zip-lock plastic bag for 1/2 months. If we store them for 3/4 months, the potatoes will be soggy.
