Braised Minced Pork With Potatoes

This is one of our family's favourite dish. 

Ingredients:

2 medium sized potatoes, approximately 200g

50g shallots

50g minced pork or beef

20g glass noodles

250ml water or chicken stock

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teasppon dark soy sauce

Dashes of white pepper

1 spoonful of love 

Method:

1. Soak the glass noodles in water for at least 15 minutes.

2. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1cm cubes.

3. Cut the shallots into thin slices (about 0.2cm thick).

4. Heat up 3 tablespoon of cooking oil in wok and fry the potatoes using medium heat until edges of each cube are golden brown. Remove the potato cubes from wok and set aside.

5. Using the remaining oil in the wok, fry the shallots using low heat. Remove the shallots once they are light golden brown in colour.

6. Turn up the heat for the stove to high and fry the minced pork in the same wok. Spinkle white pepper and salt, and stir to break up the minced meat. Fry until the pork is cooked.

7. Add the glass noodles, potato cubes, shallots and dark soy sauce to the minced pork. Stir fry for 2 minutes. Then add in water/chicken stock, lightly stir fry and braised for 10minutes under low heat.

8. Dish up and serve hot.

Note: glass noodles will soak up most of the water/chicken stock whilst braising. Increase the water/chicken stock if you want to have more sauce for this dish.
