introduction

- meat patty is a popular dish in hong kong..............it has lots of combination varieties eg minced pork patty with preserved fish is very famous............some combination can be very creative

main ingredients

- minced meat (pork/ beef)............this time i use beef

- potato

- 3 color sweet bell pepper

- onion

- egg

- white pepper powder

- black pepper powder

- soy sauce

- oyster sauce

- corn starch (pork)/ bread crumbs (beef)

steps

1. boil the potatoes till soft

2. peel off the potato

3. mash the potato.........leave it a little bit coarse

4. season the meat with egg (little), white pepper powder, black pepper powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce and corn starch (pork)/ bread crumbs (beef)............mix well

5. 'splash' the minced meat a few times <-- for better idea, please refer to above you tube video link at 4'30"

6. diced 3 color sweet bell peppers and onion.............add into minced meat

7. mix all ingredients well

8. shape minced meat into patty..........place some mashed potato on 2 sides (up & bottom)

9. fry meat patty with medium heat...........~3 mins

10. fry the other side..........repeat until both sides are brown (can put the lid on for 2-3 mins to make sure the meat is fully cooked)

11. done, plating

taste
-meat patty is thick but not tough...........just right seasoned..........and a subtle of beef flavor

-go well with rice (photo : thai jasmine rice) or spaghetti

areas of improvement

-still weak in pan fried the stuff into crispy crust

-reduce the portion of mashed potato...........in order to increase the chance of having crispy crust

-i forget the step to fridge the raw minced meat ball for 30 mins before pan fry
