Add water to a pot and bring to a boil over high heat.

Once boiling, add 500 g of diced potatoes.

Cook the potatoes until the edges turn slightly translucent while the center stays firm (about 2 minutes).

Heat cooking oil over medium heat in a skillet.

Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and pan-fry until the bottom turns golden, then stir.

Cook the potatoes until golden on all sides.

In a bowl, mix together 2 tsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp rice wine, 1/4 tsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp white pepper, 1 tsp starch, and 60 ml water; mix well.

Add 150 g of minced meat to the skillet, breaking it up and gently pressing it flat; let it sit for 10-15 seconds before stir-frying.

Cook the minced meat until the moisture cooks off and it gets lightly crispy.

Drizzle 1 tsp rice wine along the edge of the pan and stir-fry until fragrant.

Add 1/2 onion, 2 red chilies, and 2 green chilies (optional) to the skillet and stir-fry until fragrant.

Add the pan-fried potatoes back into the skillet and stir well.

Pour in the sauce mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
