I have been cooking this dish ever so often. It is a dish loved by many, especially children. In fact, my son once told me that he would not mind eating it every day. I would not mind cooking it every day too as it is a simple dish to cook. It needs only two main ingredients - minced pork and potatoes - and the seasonings. We can cook a big pot for lunch and dinner.
Ingredients:
- 200 g minced pork
- 3 medium size potatoes
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce.
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Cooking oil
- 2-3 cups of water
Method:
- Peel and cube the potatoes.
- Peel and chop the garlic.
- Heat up kuali with cooking oil.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the kuali. Fry them till they are slightly brown. This is to prevent them from breaking up when braised with the pork. Once ready, transfer them to a pot and set the pot aside.
- Remove the cooking oil from the kuali.
- Add sesame oil to the kuali.
- Add garlic to the kuali and saute them till they are fragrant.
- Add the lean pork to the kuali. Fry till they are half-cooked.
- Add the seasonings - salt, light and dark soy sauce and pepper to the pork.
- Fry the pork till fragrant.
- Transfer the pork to the pot containing the potatoes.
- Add water to the pot.
- Braise the pork and potatoes over low heat till they are soft and cooked. Take care that the water does not dry up.
- Serve it with rice. (You may sprinkle the dish with chopped green onion before serving it.)
