Ingredients

• 500 grams ground pork or beef
• 3 medium potatoes, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 stalks spring onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 120 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into small, even-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the pan. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until they are lightly golden and partially tender. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the ground pork or beef and cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the meat. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 6

Return the sautéed potatoes and carrots to the pan. Mix everything together evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and water. Pour this sauce over the hash mixture in the pan.

Step 8

Stir everything well to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients. Lower the heat to medium and cover the pan. Let it cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and carrots are fully tender.

Step 9

Season with ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning, adding more soy sauce or hoisin sauce if needed.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and garnish the dish with chopped spring onions before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot as a standalone dish or pair it with steamed rice for a fuller meal.
