Braised pork with potatoes (薯仔炆豬肉)

Ingredients

Method

1. Keep the cut potatoes in cold water until needed, then drain.
2. Scrape the pork skin with a knife under cold water. Pat dry and cut.
3. Heat the wok on high. Stir-fry the onion in 1 tsp oil about 30 seconds and set aside.
4. Add 1 tsp oil and stir-fry the potatoes about 2 minutes until golden. Set aside, since they finish cooking in the braise.
5. Add the last 1 tsp oil and the pork. Brown 30–40 seconds a side.
6. Add the garlic and stir-fry about 20 seconds.
7. Turn the heat to its lowest. Add the bean sauce, oyster sauce and soy sauce, and stir briefly.
8. On medium, stir in the sugar, then the potatoes and carrot, for 30 seconds.
9. Pour in the boiling water to almost cover. Cover and cook on medium-high 5 minutes.
10. Taste and add salt. Cover and cook on medium until the potatoes are tender, about 3–4 minutes, adding water if it gets dry.
11. Off the heat, stir in the onion, green onion and sesame oil. Serve over rice.
