Wok – potatoes with pork

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 kg potatoes, unpeeled
• 500 g pork, chop or shoulder
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• salt and pepper
• 50 ml oil, optionally a little more or less

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Peel the potatoes and cut them into julienne strips, ideally in a bowl of water so they don’t brown during cooking. Cut the pork into thin strips, about 5 cm long, or put it through a meat grinder with coarse slices. Then place it in a bowl, mix with the cornstarch (this works best with your fingers) and pour over the soy sauce, stir through, and let stand for about 5 minutes. Now heat the wok until very hot, add about 2 tablespoons of oil, add the pork, and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Then remove from the wok and set aside. Now add another 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Do not clean the wok in between! Heat the oil, dry the julienne potatoes, then add them to the wok and stir-fry for 5 minutes, then add the vinegar and stir-fry for another 5 minutes. You may need to add a little more oil after the vinegar has evaporated. The potatoes should now be cooked through but crisp, not soft. Now add the meat back in, season with salt and pepper to taste, and continue frying for 1 minute. Serve with rice and a green salad.
