The ultimate side dish to delight your children’s taste buds! Introducing a simple and quick recipe for Ham and Potato Stir-Fry using potatoes and ham. The harmony of tender potatoes and savory ham creates a nutritious and easy-to-make side dish.
Main Ingredients- 1 medium potato
- 50g carrot
- 95g ham (Spam or your preferred ham)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all your ingredients. Peel the potato (about 1 medium size) using a peeler. Prepare 50g of carrot and 95g of ham as well. (If using Spam, consider adjusting the salt quantity due to its saltiness.)
Step 2
Julienne the prepared potato, carrot, and ham into thin strips. Aim for strips about 0.3-0.5 cm thick. Cutting them this way will shorten the cooking time and ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for a tastier result.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan. You can also use vegetable oil or grapeseed oil if preferred.
Step 4
Add the julienned potatoes and carrots to the pan first and stir-fry over medium-low heat. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes become translucent and start to soften. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. This step ensures the potatoes and carrots cook through and become tender.
Step 5
Once the potatoes and carrots are somewhat cooked, add 3 pinches of salt to season. Adjust the amount of salt according to your preference, considering the saltiness of the ham.
Step 6
Next, add 1 pinch of black pepper for aroma. After adding the salt and pepper, continue to stir-fry over medium-low heat for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Finally, add the julienned ham and stir-fry for about 5 more minutes over low heat. Stir-frying until the ham is slightly browned will enhance its flavor. Be careful not to overcook the ham, as it can become tough.
Step 8
Once all ingredients are cooked, turn off the heat. If desired, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for garnish. Sesame seeds add a nice nutty flavor.
Step 9
Your nutritious and delicious Ham and Potato Stir-Fry is complete! It’s a perfect side dish to serve with warm rice, and children will absolutely love it. It also makes an excellent simple side dish for any meal.
