Introduction
This is an easy, rice-loving sweet and savory potato simmer that uses a microwave to shorten the precooking time. Tender potatoes coated in potato starch are stir-fried until crisp, then coated in a refreshing, flavorful sweet and savory sauce with a hint of vinegar.
Step 1
Peel the potatoes, remove the eyes, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Fill a bowl with water, add the cut potatoes, and soak for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch (akunuki).
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and place them in a bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap (allowing steam to escape) and microwave at 600W for 3 minutes (add 10-20 seconds if using 500W).
Step 4
While the potatoes are microwaving, combine 150ml water, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp dashi powder, and 1 tsp potato starch in a separate container. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
Step 5
Remove the plastic wrap from the heated potatoes and wipe off excess moisture with a paper towel.

Important Notes
💡 Pre-heating the potatoes in the microwave shortens the simmering time and ensures they turn out tender and fluffy.
💡 Coating the potatoes in potato starch prevents them from falling apart while simmering, adds a nice texture, and helps the sauce cling better.
💡 Since the potato starch in the sauce mixture settles easily, make sure to mix it well again right before adding it to the pan.
⚠️ You can substitute the mixed minced meat with ground pork or chicken depending on your preference.
