2. Cut 4 ounces of onion (about ½ cup) into similar sized chunks as the potatoes.
3. Cut a peeled carrot into small cubes, as nobody wants to eat big chunks of carrot.
4. Mince 2 large cloves of garlic.
5. Cut 100 grams (around 3½ ounces) of cooked ham into ½ inch cubes.
6. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the potato and garlic.
7. Stir-fry the potatoes and garlic with a wooden spoon for 3 minutes over medium-high heat until the garlic smells flavorful and the potatoes are slightly translucent.
8. Add the onion, carrot, and ham to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
9. Turn down the heat to medium. Add ½ cup of water, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
10. Cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes.
11. Remove the cover and turn up the heat to high to evaporate all the juice. Gently stir until all the ingredients are shiny and well cooked.
12. Turn off the heat and add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir to combine.
13. For the cucumber side dish: Thinly slice 8 ounces of English cucumber. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt and mix. Let it sit for 5 minutes to sweat.
