I am intending to cook something simple for last night's dinner, such as a one-pot, one-plate or one-bowl meal. As I was thinking.... Diana Gale's recent post of 'Xiamen Minced Meat Rice' triggers me. Taking a quick search into my fridge I manage to get all the ingredients needed. There goes my 'One-bowl' dinner for myself and hubby....
Ingredients: (Serves: 2)
200g minced pork
100g frozen vegetables
1 potato (peeled and cubed)
1 cup water
3 shallots (peeled and thinly sliced)
1/2 onion (peeled and diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 eggs (fried, sunny side up)
1 cup rice (washed and cooked)
3/4 tbsp oyster sauce
3/4 tbsp shaoxing wine
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp fried shallots
Salt (to taste)
Marinade for minced meat:
1/2 tsp 5-spice powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp light soy sauce
Garnish:
Bok Choy (washed, lightly boiled and drained)
Methods:
- Marinate minced meat with the marinade ingredients, mix well to combine and set aside.
- Deep fry potatoes until golden brown and drain on kitchen paper. Remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tbsp in the wok.
- In the same heated wok, fry shallots and onions until translucent and soft, add minced garlic and quick stir until fragrant, then add in minced pork.
- Stir-fry the meat until about 75% cooked, then add potato cubes, oyster sauce, shaoxing wine and water. Stir to mix and let it simmer for 1 minute.
- Add frozen vegetables, dark soy sauce and fried shallots.
- Continue stirring until liquid reduces. Season with salt and taste for correct seasoning.
- Turn off heat, dish onto a bowl and set aside.
- To assemble: Place some rice in a bowl, top with meat and sauce, garnish with some bok choy at the side and a fried egg.
Thanks to Diana Gale for another fabulous yummy dish to cook and enjoy in the comfort of our home. Once a while it is always fun to opt for something unique and different other than our normal Chinese home-cooked food.
