Home Style Braised Potatoes with Minced Meat and Salted Soya Beans

Another homely meat dish that goes well with rice or steaming hot porridge. This is the third tasty dish using preserved soya bean paste [taucheow], like the dishes which I cooked earlier using fish and tofu puffs [recipe here] and pork belly and black fungus [see recipe here].  All these 3 dishes are tasty and delicious with rice or porridge.

Verdict - tasty and delicious.  Aromatic with ginger and the salted soya bean paste tasted sweet.
