A chewy stir-fried potato and fish cake dish where potatoes are salted to prevent crumbling and oyster sauce maximizes umami.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

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.

Recommended for

  • Those who are tired of the same everyday side dishes.
  • Those who have struggled with potatoes breaking apart or not cooking fully when stir-frying.
  • Those who want a mild yet deeply savory and chewy side dish.
