Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Be sure to parboil the potatoes until they are slightly tender but still hold their shape. This will ensure they don't become mushy during stir-frying.
- Soy sauce — Opt for low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer to control the saltiness of the dish.
- Oyster sauce — If you're vegetarian or allergic to shellfish, you can substitute oyster sauce with vegetarian oyster sauce or mushroom sauce for a similar umami flavor.
- Honey — For a vegan version, replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
- Green onions — Slice the green onions thinly on a diagonal for an attractive garnish.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few slices of fresh chili peppers.
- To make the dish more substantial, you can add other vegetables such as bell peppers or snow peas.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water and add it to the sauce during the last minute of cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
- Serve the Soy-Glazed Potatoes as a side dish with steamed rice or as a main course with a side of stir-fried vegetables.
Serving advice
Serve the Soy-Glazed Potatoes hot as a side dish or as a main course accompanied by steamed rice. Garnish with additional sliced green onions for a pop of color.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Soy-Glazed Potatoes on a serving platter and sprinkle the sliced green onions on top for an appealing presentation. Consider using a contrasting colored plate to make the dish visually striking.
