Yen Can Cook ~ Minced Meat with Chives & Preserved Radish

Minced meat is a very versatile ingredient and it’s a more cost effective way for us to include meat in our weekly rotation, so it is often on my dinner menu. There are so many ways to enjoy it, such as braise it (think Taiwanese Lu Rou Fan and spaghetti Bolognese), stir fry, make into patty for steamed meat patty, burger patty or pan fried meat patty and make into meat balls.  More minced meat recipe HERE. 

Today’s recipe of stir fried minced pork with chives and Choy Poh can be served as dish to pair with rice or topping for noodles or even steamed bean curd. It is also a meal-prep friendly recipe which can make your weekday dinner quick and easy. Extra ingredients can be added to turn this recipe into another dish, diced potatoes, carrot, cucumber or even zucchini are some good add ons I reckon. Add in Chili Boh if you like spicy!

Here is another version with dried shrimp.
