Korean shredded potato, carrot, and pepper stirfry

This is a version of a recipe I ate during my childhood. Also, technically the potato is not shredded, but cut into ½" sticks. The carrot and peppers are julienned. We followed this recipe: http://aeriskitchen.com/2011/08/potato-vegetable-bokkeum/ For the pepper, we used a red jalapeño (medium hot) and two green shishitos (mild). (Sept. 2018)
