The meat surrounding the small bones turns dense and pleasantly chewy as it simmers, holding onto the thick, reduced sauce at every surface. Potato pieces soften in the braising liquid until starchy and tender throughout, absorbing the chili-soy base from the outside in. The oligosaccharide syrup wraps the gochujang heat in a shiny glaze that keeps you reaching for another piece. A stalk of green onion stirred in at the very end adds a sharp, pungent aroma that lifts the finished dish.
