The other day, my son cooked ‘Mabo Dofu Japanese Style’. Next day I found a small amount of leftover Pork Mince. I wondered what I could cook with it. I happened to have a Potato, that was already peeled. I instantly thought about ‘Mabo Potatoes’, but I wanted to cook something simple and easy. Then I cooked this, which was similar to ‘Pork Mince Nikujaga’, but much easier. I usually don’t add Garlic to ‘Nikujaga’, but I added Garlic to this one. It was absolutely scrumptious and I ate it all for myself!
