Bak Steak means Meat Patties in Hokkien. Small pieces of minced meat patties shaped to resemble steak, mini size steak cooked in our favourite sauce. My hubby loves this dish so much that he even clean up the last drop of the sauce.. :D
Edamame peas can be replace with frozen green peas.
Ingredients : (serves 2)
300 gm minced meat with some fats
1 pc Potato - sliced to roughly 5mm-7mm thickness
