Homestyle Minced Meat with Potatoes

Heat some oil in a wok over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, dip a wooden chopstick into it; it's ready when bubbles form around the stick.

Carefully add the thinly sliced potatoes to the hot oil. Before this, soak the potato slices in room temperature water for 30 minutes before frying.

Fry the potatoes for about 3 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.

Remove the potatoes from the wok and set them aside. Pour out the excess oil, leaving only about 1 tablespoon in the wok.

Using medium heat, add the chopped garlic to the wok and fry until fragrant.

Add the minced meat and use a spatula to break it into smaller pieces. Stir-fry until the meat is lightly browned and no longer pink.

Season the cooked meat with salt and a few dashes of white pepper. Stir to combine.

Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, premium dark soy sauce, and sugar to the wok. Mix well until the meat is fully coated.

Pour water into the wok and mix everything together to create the sauce.

Return the fried potatoes to the wok and gently spread them out in the sauce.

Cover the wok, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, uncover the wok. Thicken the sauce by adding some cornstarch solution and swirling the wok to combine.

Garnish with a handful of chopped spring onions before serving.
