For more detailed instructions, you can check Ground Pork Stir Fry. Ingredients: 500 gr potatoes 150 gr ground pork 2 cloves garlic 2 shallots 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp mushroom powder or chicken bouillon powder 1 tsp pepper 1 star anise ½ cup water Instructions: Deep-fry the sliced potatoes until lightly golden, then remove them from the oil and set aside to drain. Heat a little cooking oil in a wok or large pan. Add the minced garlic and shallots and stir-fry until fragrant and lightly golden. Add the ground pork. Cook the ground pork, breaking it apart as you stir, until it changes color and is mostly cooked through. Add the sweet soy sauce and soy sauce, followed by the mushroom powder and pepper. Add the star anise for extra fragrance, then add the fried potatoes. Pour in ½ cup of water and stir well to help the seasonings combine and coat the pork and potatoes evenly. Continue stir-frying until the pork and potatoes are evenly coated with the sauce and the liquid has reduced to your preferred consistency. Turn off the heat and serve warm. submitted by /u/ButterJoyKitchen [link] [comments]
