Minced Meat Potatoes Baked Beans

One of my favourite quick dinner fixes...this is, in fact, the 'meat' dish for the meal :D

Ingredients (for 6 pax share):
- Two cans of baked beans (I chose "Ayam Brand Hi Fibre Baked Beans" for my young children)

- Approx 300g of minced pork (costs me about $4 from NTUC), seasoned with some corn flour, sesame oil, soya sauce, and pepper.

- 4 potatoes of medium size, chopped into cubes

- Some garlic, chopped finely
- 1 tablespoon of cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch

- Spring onions (optional)
- Water
- Salt to taste

How to cook:
- Boil the potatoes and set aside.

- Heat the wok with cooking oil.

- Add in the garlic once the wok is heated.
- Put in the minced meat once the garlic turns slightly brownish and add in some water. Reduce the heat slightly so that the water will not dry up so fast and leave it to boil. This will not take longer than 10 minutes.
- Then add in the baked beans and half a can of water (use the baked beans' tin can) and leave it to boil.

- Add tapioca starch to thicken the gravy and salt to taste. Leave it to boil for another 3 mins.

- Lastly, add the boiled cube potatoes and stir evenly in the mixture. Garnish with chopped spring onions (optional) before serving.

* You may also replace minced meat with diced luncheon meat. Taste equally fantastic! slurp!
