Auntie Emilys Kitchen-Shoestring Potato and Pork Stir-fry

Shoestring potatoes and pork stir-fry 土豆絲炒豬肉

Using potatoes cut into shoestring size is a quick and easy way to make a stir-fry dish.
Some variations include:
• Replace the sweet soy sauce with spiced vinegar
• Deep-fry the shoestring potatoes before stir-frying with the pork
• Replace the pork with luncheon meat and add egg for a great breakfast dish that can be served with bread or congee
• Add sliced tomatoes for some tang
• Go vegetarian by replacing the pork with pressed tofu
• Add some preserved vegetables for a whole different flavor (don’t add the sweet soy sauce)
• Instead of pork, shred some barbequed duck and wrap it in lettuce…skip the rice
