Cooking tips 💡

• Soaking potatoes in salt water creates an osmotic effect that prevents them from crumbling, makes them chewy, and seasons them through to the center.
• Be sure to add 2 tablespoons of water to the seasoning sauce to prevent burning and help it absorb evenly into the ingredients.
• Without using chili powder, the dish gets its flavor from oyster sauce and soy sauce, making it mild and suitable for all ages.
