Anyone can make it easily and quickly without special skills, making it perfect for a hearty meal even on busy days.

🛒 Ingredient Tips
As potatoes are the star of this dish, it's crucial to choose good ones.
Fresh potatoes have smooth, firm skin and no blemishes.
New potatoes have thin skins and high moisture content, allowing you to fully enjoy their fluffy texture.
For canned tuna, draining a little bit of the oil but adding the liquid back in enhances the umami flavor, but you can also completely drain the oil if preferred.
Choose green onions (대파), Cheongyang chili peppers (청양고추), and red chili peppers that are fresh, vibrant in color, and firm for the best taste and aroma.
🔄 Substitution Guide
You can use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter and different flavor.
Sweet potatoes may take a bit longer to cook than regular potatoes, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
If you don't have canned tuna, you can use canned chicken breast or finely diced pork shoulder.
Chicken breast is high in protein and lean, while pork can add a richer umami flavor.
If Cheongyang chili peppers (청양고추) are too spicy, try using regular green chili peppers or bell peppers for color and a crunchy texture.
For a cleaner, more natural flavor, use anchovy broth instead of Dashida (다시다).
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
There are two key cooking points for this dish.
First, it's important not to cut the potatoes too small; slice them thickly, larger than for curry.
This prevents them from breaking apart during simmering and helps maintain their fluffy texture.
Second, you need to pan-fry the potatoes in cooking oil until lightly browned first.
This slightly cooks the surface of the potatoes, preventing them from breaking easily, and adds a nutty flavor, deepening the overall taste of the jorim.
Stir-fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes until adequately browned.
Finally, the secret to success is to adjust the seasoning by tasting rather than adding all of it at once.
If it's bland, season with tuna fish sauce (참치액젓); if it's too salty, add a little more water to adjust.
👨🍳 Directions
Cut 3 potatoes into thick, bite-sized pieces, slightly larger than those for curry.
Thinly slice 2 Cheongyang chili peppers (청양고추) and 1 red chili pepper. Chop the green onion (대파) into rounds.
Prepare 1/4 of an onion and slice it thinly.
Make the seasoning sauce. In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp minced garlic, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp Dashida (다시다), 3 tbsp corn syrup, and 3 tbsp gochugaru (고춧가루). Mix well until the sauce is smooth.
Heat a pan over medium heat, add a moderate amount of cooking oil, then add the sliced potatoes and stir-fry until lightly browned.
Once the potatoes are lightly browned, pour in enough water to just barely cover them.
Add the prepared seasoning sauce, sliced green onion (대파), Cheongyang chili peppers (청양고추), red chili pepper, and onion all at once.
Add 1 can of undrained tuna, then close the lid and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the sauce has reduced.
Taste and adjust seasoning. If it's too bland, add 1 tbsp tuna fish sauce (참치액젓) to enhance the flavor.
💡 Tips
To fully enjoy the fluffy texture, avoid cutting the potatoes too small; slice them thickly.
It's best to adjust the seasoning by tasting rather than adding too much at first. You can't fix it if it's too salty, but if it's bland, you can adjust the seasoning with tuna fish sauce (참치액젓) to add more umami.
New potatoes have a naturally strong sweetness, so you can omit sugar or adjust the amount to your preference.
