Ingredients

Instructions

1. Peel the potatoes, keep them in cold water, then rinse and cut into bite-sized triangular chunks. Peel and cut the carrots into triangular chunks. Cut the red onion into bite-sized pieces. Cut the garlic cloves into thirds. Cut the green parts of the green onions into 2-inch batons.
2. Scrub the pork skin in cold water to remove debris and hair, pat dry, then cut into bite-sized pieces at least 1 inch thick.
3. Heat a wok on high with oil. Stir-fry the red onion for about 30 seconds and set aside.
4. Add more oil and stir-fry the potatoes for about 2 minutes until golden on the surface, then set aside. They will not be cooked through yet.
5. Add more oil and the pork. Brown one side for 30 to 40 seconds, flip and brown the other side for 30 to 40 seconds.
6. Add the garlic and stir-fry for about 20 seconds.
7. Turn the heat to low or off, add the ground bean sauce, oyster sauce and light soy sauce and stir briefly.
8. Return the heat to medium, add the sugar and stir to dissolve.
9. Add the potatoes and carrots and stir for 30 seconds.
10. Add enough boiling water to almost cover the ingredients, cover and cook for 5 minutes on medium-high heat.
11. Uncover, taste and adjust seasoning (the creator's dad added 1/2 tsp salt), then stir, cover again and cook on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, adding small amounts of water if the liquid gets too low.
12. Turn off the heat when a paring knife or chopstick pierces the potatoes easily. Stir in the red onion, green onion and sesame oil, then serve with the sauce.
