🥄 Texture
Small potato cubes provide a tender, slightly creamy interior with lightly browned, slightly crisp edges, while the onions become soft and silky. Laid over fluffy rice, the dish feels comforting and cohesive with a gentle chew from the potatoes and a soft, saucy mouthfeel.
👃 Aroma
A savory, soy-forward scent dominates, layered with sweet, caramelized onion notes and a warm, starchy potato aroma. A subtle black pepper top note adds a mild, peppery fragrance.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Cold barley tea (bori cha) or a light lager; alternatively green tea or a mild, chilled soju.
🥗 Side Dishes
Spicy kimchi, quick cucumber or radish pickles (oi kimchi or kkakdugi), sautéed spinach (namul) or seasoned bean sprouts, and a fried egg to place on top.

Instructions
- 1
If using uncooked rice, cook it first according to package directions and set aside. If rice is already cooked, you can skip this step.
- 2
Cut the potatoes into small cubes (about the size of dice) and thinly slice the onions. Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking.
- 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the potato cubes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden and soften.
- 4
Add the sliced onions to the pan with the potatoes. Stir in the soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add the water and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are fully tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
- 5
Divide the cooked rice into bowls and top each bowl with the potato and onion mixture. Serve hot and enjoy!
