Main Ingredients- 100g Ham
- 1/2 Bell Pepper (using different colors makes it more appealing)
- 2 Potatoes (medium-sized)
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Seasoning- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, julienne the ham and bell pepper into similar widths and lengths. Aim for strips about 0.5cm thick for the ham, and a similar thickness for the bell pepper. Cutting them into uniform shapes ensures a harmonious texture and visually appealing dish when cooked.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into julienne strips, similar in thickness to the ham and bell pepper. Be careful not to cut them too thinly, as they might break apart during cooking. Blanch the cut potatoes in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes. Overcooking will make them mushy. The goal is to retain a slight crispness. Immediately rinse the blanched potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain them thoroughly in a colander. Excess moisture can cause the potatoes to stick together and become clumpy when stir-fried.
Step 3
Now, let’s stir-fry! Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ham and bell pepper and sauté briefly until fragrant. Once the ham starts releasing some fat, add the drained potatoes. Stir-fry until the potatoes become translucent. It’s best to cook over medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. When the potatoes are almost tender, season with salt and pepper to your preference. Stir everything together for another minute to combine the flavors. Your delicious potato stir-fry is ready to be served!
