Used to do it too…

Nope, my mum never cooked this or not that I can remember…but I do recall my missus cooking ground beef this way…

It is very simple really and all you need is half a pack of ground or minced beef from the frozen section in the supermarket, one Bombay onion chopped into small bits and a couple of potatoes cut into small cubes. I would use a few slices of ginger as well – I usually do it when cooking meat so as to remove or tone down the smell of the meat…

Marinate the meat with soy sauce and pepper…

…and a sprinkling of sugar. Of course, you may choose to use your own alternatives if you wish, for instance, Lea & Perrins and you may want to add those herbs that they use in western cooking – that’s all up to you.

First, you fry the ginger in a bit of oil…

…till brown. Once done, I would remove the slices and throw them away as I do not fancy biting into them when eating.

Then, in goes the chopped onion…

– fry till fragrant soft before putting in the potatoes…

and keep frying till you think they are more or less cooked already.

Lastly, you can add the meat…

…add salt and seasoning according to taste and keep frying till it’s well done before dishing it out and serving…

This goes well with rice and would be ideal as pie stuffing too. I had it with cream crackers and it tasted really very nice and I am sure it would be great for stuffing croissants or even our local Foochow kompia as well.

That day, I also cooked this dish of baby corn with some leftover beef sausages that I had in the freezer…

…and just to share, this was the salted fish fried rice that I cooked for breakfast one morning…

It went so absolutely well with the cincaluk dip that I kept going on and on and did not feel like I ever wanted to stop!

So, how are things at  your end? Been cooking lately?
