How to Make Stir-Fried Potato and Pork: A Complete Guide

Stir-fried potato and pork is a beloved, quick-to-prepare dish that balances savory flavors and satisfying textures. Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering it at home.

Ingredients: 2 medium potatoes (peeled and sliced into thin strips), 200g pork loin (sliced into thin pieces, marinated with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green onion (chopped), 1 tbsp cooking oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and a splash of water.

Instructions:

1. Prep the potatoes: Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

2. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry pork for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry potatoes: Add more oil if needed. Sauté potatoes for 5-7 minutes until slightly crispy and tender. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Combine and season: Return pork to the wok. Mix in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Pour in a splash of water, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes to let flavors meld.

5. Finish: Garnish with green onions, stir briefly, and serve hot with rice.

Tips: For extra flavor, blanch potatoes first for faster cooking. Adjust sauces to taste—add a chili for heat if desired. This versatile dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice and is ready in under 20 minutes!
