Minchi is a Macanese dish of minced beef or pork and soy sauce served with diced potatoes and rice. Colonized by Portugal in 1557, Macau boasts what is often considered the world’s first “fusion” cuisine, combining Portuguese spices and methods with traditional Chinese fare.

Add the seasonings and cumin powder and stir to mix everything.
Cook for another 2 minutes or so.
Adjust seasonings.
Turn off the heat.
Add the fried potato and stir to mix evenly.
Serve with:
Garnish with chopped green onion and serve immediately with a rice and fried egg.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
