Minced Meat, Potatoes, and Carrots Recipe Ingredients: - 1 lb ground beef or pork - 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed - 1 cup carrots, peeled and diced - 1/2 cup onion, chopped - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon soy sauce - 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, adds umami) - 1 teaspoon cornstarch - 1 tablespoon cooking oil - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish) Instructions: 1. Prepare the ingredients: Peel and cube the potatoes and dice the carrots. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. 2. Cook the meat: Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned. Drain off any excess fat. 3. Sauté aromatics: Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. 4. Add potatoes and carrots: Add the potatoes and carrots to the skillet. Stir to combine. 5. Season and simmer: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add about 1/2 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. 6. Thicken the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens slightly. 7. Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot with rice. Tips and Variations: - For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili garlic sauce. - You can substitute other vegetables, such as bell peppers or peas. - If you prefer a richer sauce, you can add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey. - For a thicker sauce, use more cornstarch. - Feel free to adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your liking.
