Marinate minced pork and beef with salt, sugar, black pepper, white wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce for 30 minutes.

Finely chop the pork and beef into a fine dice.

Prepare 250 grams of sausage (Harbin sausage) and mix with rose wine and sugar if desired.

Peel and cube 500 grams of potatoes, blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain.

Pan-fry the potatoes for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Heat a wok and add 1 tablespoon of oil, then add the marinated minced meat and sausage, cooking for about 5 minutes until crumbly.

Lower the heat and stir-fry the meat for another 5 minutes to expel moisture and brown it.

In the same wok, add another tablespoon of oil and fry 1 finely diced red onion for 5 minutes until softened.

Add minced garlic and bay leaves, frying for another 30 seconds.

Pour in white wine and add the sausage, stir-frying for another 30 seconds.

Add the cooked minced meat back into the wok, season with salt, sugar, light soy sauce, and black pepper, and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Finish with a swirl of rice vinegar and remove from heat.

To serve, spoon the minchi over a plate of white rice, arrange fried potatoes around it, and top with a fried egg.
