Fried Ginger Minced Meat

This fried minced meat dish uses young ginger.  It has the fragrance of ginger yet not too 'hot' in taste.  Moreover with the saltiness of the preserved radish [chai por], this minced meat tasted rather unique, very  suitable to serve with plain porridge and rice.

Ingredients are simple and method is easy, just stir fry until aromatic and meat is cooked.  

Ingredients

[recipe adapted from Yum Yum magazine]
300 gm minced meat [lean or with some fats is alright]

200 young ginger - finely chopped

100 gm preserved radish [chai por] - chopped

4 tbsp oil

1 tbsp light soy sauce

1/2 tsp salt to taste [depends on how salty is the chai por used]

1 tsp sugar

1. Heat up oil in pan [I used a claypot], saute chopped ginger until aromatic and lightly browned.
2. Add in preserved radish, stir fry to mix and aromatic.
3. Add in the minced meat and seasoning.  Stir fry until minced meat is cooked and almost dry.
4. Taste to adjust seasoning.  Dish up to serve with plain porridge or white rice or use as toppings for steamed tofu.
