There is no gochujang or soy sauce here, only salt and pepper, so what you taste is plain potato and sweet shrimp.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Julienne 320 g potatoes to about 0.3 cm thickness, then soak in cold water for 10 minutes to wash off surface starch.
Drain in a colander and shake off any remaining water before cooking.

Peel 180g medium shrimp and pat thoroughly dry with paper towel.
Season evenly with 0.25 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.

Heat a wide pan over medium heat and add 1.5 tbsp cooking oil.
Add 1 tsp minced garlic and 70 g sliced onion, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until the garlic turns fragrant and pale golden.

Spread the drained potato strips evenly across the pan and stir-fry over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
When the edges turn slightly translucent and the strips slide freely without sticking, they are ready.
