    Cut the ham 200 g into slabs about 5 mm thick, then into strips 4 cm long. If the edges crumble, cut one slab at a time.

  2. Rinse the potato strips

    Cut the potato 120 g into strips about 3 mm thick and 4 cm long. Rinse in cold water to wash away the surface starch, then drain in a strainer.

  3. Slice the onion and pepper

    Cut the onion 80 g and green bell pepper 60 g into thin strips about the same length as the potato. Pat dry with a paper towel if necessary.

  5. Brown the ham first

    Heat the oil 1 T in a pan over medium heat. Spread out the ham and turn it once the underside browns. Set the ham aside when both sides are browned.

  6. Stir-fry the potato and vegetables

    Spread the potato in the same pan and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes. Add the onion and pepper and cook for about 2 more minutes, until the onion is translucent. Split a strip of potato to check that no hard white center remains.

  7. Return the ham to the pan and finish

    Return the ham to the pan, pour in the soy seasoning and stir-fry until the liquid has nearly evaporated. Check with a thermometer that the center of the ham has reached 75°C, then cook 1 more minute. Turn off the heat, mix in the sesame oil 1/3 T and toasted sesame seeds 1/3 T, and serve.
