  • 3 cloves of garlic (minced)

  • Light and dark soy sauce, to taste

  • A pinch of salt and sugar

  • Chopped scallions, to garnish

  • Adequate cooking oil

  • Half a cup of water (adjust as needed)

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  3. Add light and dark soy sauce to adjust color and flavor, and continue stirring evenly.

  4. Drain the diced potatoes and add them to the pan, stir-frying with the minced pork for a while.

  5. Pour in half a cup of water, cover the pan, and simmer on medium-low heat until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

👉🏻✨TIPS
