Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes about 800 gr or 1 1/2 lbs
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- 300 gr ground pork / turkey / chicken / beef 10.5 oz
- 1 small onion diced
- 150 ml water about 10 Tbsp
Seasonings:
- 3 Tbsp kecap manis see notes
- 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- ¼ tsp ground white pepper
To thicken the sauce:
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch + 1 Tbsp water
Garnish:
- 1 stalk green onion finely chopped
Instructions
Prepare the potatoes:
- Peel the skin and rinse the potatoes with water. Slice the potatoes into about 1/4-inch (about 0.5 cm) in thickness. Try to cut them into the same thickness as much as possible so they cook at the same time. You can also use a mandoline slicer if you have one
- Soak the potatoes in water while you are preparing other things so the potatoes won't get oxidized and turned black. When ready to cook, discard the water
Cooking:
- Preheat wok or large skillet over high heat. Add cooking oil. Add diced onion and stir fry until they are aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add ground meat and continue to stir fry until they turn color, but not cooked through yet. Add potato slices, seasonings, and water. Stir to mix and then cover with a lid to let the potato slices are soft but not mushy. The liquid will slightly reduce too. Have a taste and adjust taste to your liking. It should be savory with a hint of sweetness
Thicken the sauce:
- Give the cornstarch that you mixed with water a stir and then pour it in and stir until the sauce thickens
Garnish:
- Remove from the heat and garnish with some chopped green onion. Serve immediately with rice
Notes
If you don't have kecap manis, you can use 1 Tbsp of soy sauce + 2 Tbsp of brown sugar (or more if you want it a bit sweeter)
