Recipe: Macanese Minchi 免治 (Mince & Potatoes)

What is minchi 免治? Minchi (also known as minchee) is a Macanese dish, which contains minced meat cooked with onion and garlic, seasoned with dark and light soy sauce and topped with fried potato cubes.

Traditionally it is made with both minced beef and pork; I've tried making it with just pork, as well as just beef and also a mix. They taste equally great, so just use whichever meat you prefer. The minchi is topped with crispy, fluffy fried potato cubes and served with rice and a fried egg. A great, easy weekday meal which the kids adore!

Recipe by Baby Sumo
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20-30 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients
400g beef mince
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 tbsp cooking oil
3 potatoes (275g), peeled and cut into 1cm cubes
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tbsp cooking caramel or dark soy sauce
1/4 tsp caster sugar
1 bay leaf
Freshly ground black pepper

1. In a large wok, heat oil over high heat. Once hot, add the potatoes and fry for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.



2. Remove oil, leaving only 2 tablespoons in the wok. Over medium high heat, cook the onions and garlic for 3-4 minutes, until the onions are softened.

3. Then, add the beef mince and bay leaf and cook, stirring frequently until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

4. Season with light soy sauce, cooking caramel, sugar, and black pepper and continue cooking over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

5. Place meat onto serving plate, then top with crispy fried potatoes. Garnish with spring onions. Serve with rice and fried egg.

Note:
1. You can also use a mixture of 200g beef mince and 200g pork mince.
