Stir-fried Puppet
A rustic northern dish of diced potato coated in flour to form little dough lumps, pan-cooked until tender with a delightfully chewy, starchy, comforting bite.
Instructions
- 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes♦️, soak in water for 2 minutes, and set aside (when looking for potatoes, I found a sweet potato🍠, so I included it as well).

After draining the water, add 4 cups of white flour and 2 tablespoons of salt and set aside. Find another empty bowl to hold warm water, and gradually pour it into the flour while stirring (add a little at a time, be careful not to add too much) until the flour coats the potatoes, forming small dough lumps. Then the 'puppet' is ready. Boil water in a steamer, and once it's boiling, place the steamer basket in it. Pour the mixture into a steaming cloth and heat for 5 minutes, then remove. Make sure to break the large 'puppet' lumps into smaller pieces.

Use slightly more chopped green onions, cut them a bit smaller, and once everything is prepared, heat the pan and start stir-frying the puppet.

Heat a cold pan with cool oil, let the meat absorb the oil, and be sure to add a little more oil. After the oil starts to smoke, add the chopped green onions and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the cooled meat, continuously stir-frying. During the process, add 2-3 tablespoons of salt.

Because it is steamed in a steamer, the puppets' dumplings contain a lot of moisture inside, so when stir-frying, you must make sure all the moisture is completely evaporated. If the puppets have large pieces, you can use a spatula to break them up. Keep an eye on the color of the puppets; when there is no more moisture in the pan, the puppets change from white to yellow, and they make a crackling sound, then they can be taken out of the pan.
