Ingredients
- 200 g noodles
- 150 g minced meat
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 steamed potato
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp starch
- 0.5 bowl water
- to taste green onions
Instructions
- 1Add garlic
Add minced garlic to the pot with the cooked meat and stir well over medium heat until fragrant and aromatic.
Tip: Sauté the garlic until fragrant before adding other ingredients. - 2Add diced tomatoes
Add diced tomatoes into the pot and stir-fry until they become soft and juicy.
Tip: Cooking the tomatoes thoroughly creates a rich base for the sauce. - 3Add a steamed potato
Place a whole steamed potato into the pot along with the tomatoes and meat.
Tip: Using a pre-steamed potato helps it mash easily into the sauce later. - 4Add sauces and water
Pour in two spoons of light soy sauce, one spoon of dark soy sauce, one spoon of oyster sauce, an appropriate amount of sugar, one spoon of starch, and half a bowl of water, stirring to combine.
Tip: Mix the starch thoroughly in the liquid to ensure a smooth sauce consistency. - 5Mash the potato
Use a spatula to break and mash the potato pieces directly in the simmering sauce.
Tip: Mashing the potato helps thicken the sauce and gives it a hearty texture. - 6Simmer and reduce the sauce
Bring the mixture to a high heat to reduce the sauce until it becomes thick and rich, allowing all the flavors to fully concentrate and meld together.
Tip: Stir frequently while reducing over high heat to prevent the thick sauce from sticking or burning at the bottom of the pot. - 7Add cooked noodles to the sauce
Pour the cooked noodles directly from a strainer into the pot containing the prepared meat sauce, ready for mixing.
Tip: Drain the noodles thoroughly before adding them so they do not water down the thick, flavorful sauce.
