Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry
  • 1 pound Ground Beef A budget-friendly protein that cooks up quickly.
  • 2 medium Potatoes Crisp-tender texture, adjust the variety used.
  • 3 tablespoons Oil Consider using olive oil for a healthier option.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Finely chopped for an aromatic boost.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Adds warmth and spice.
  • 2 stalks Spring Onion Use the green stems primarily.
  • 1 medium Fresh Chili Adjust according to spice tolerance.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cubed potatoes and fry for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and tender. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil and 1 pound of ground beef. Break it apart and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and moisture evaporates. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of minced ginger, and the green parts of 2 spring onions, stirring until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce and stir for about 30 seconds to coat the beef with flavor.
  4. Lower the heat, add the fried potatoes back to the pan. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water in a separate bowl, pour over the mixture in the pan, stirring until thickened.
  5. Sprinkle fresh coriander over the stir-fry, then serve warm, ideally with steamed rice or on its own.
