Cooking tips 💡
- If you don't have doubanjiang sauce, you can use oyster sauce for a similarly savory, salty depth.
- Mash the potato while it's still warm—it breaks down more smoothly and blends better with the other ingredients.
- If you dislike greasiness, add a bit more ground black pepper to taste for a cleaner finish.
