Gamja Fries from Namufeatured
Swoon.
Every once in a while, a dish will come along and blow my mind.
Namu’s Gamja Fries are b.o.m.b.
A Korean take on chili-cheese fries (with some clever wordplay on the Korean word for potatoes and the Sanskrit word for a good time), behold, amazingly crispy hand-cut potatoes topped with tasty bits of short ribs, gobs of kimchee relish, green onions, and a secret sauce trifecta of kewpie mayo, teriyaki, and gochujang (a spicy-sweet paste of red chili peppers and fermented soy bean).
Haute Stoner Food at its finest.
The potatoes are fried in rice husk oil, which has a high smoking point of 490 F, making it a great choice for deep frying. Hands down, the best crispies ever. Not a single soggy dud in the bunch.
Chef Dennis Lee, congratulations on creating the perfect dish of fries.
