1. Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. If using chicken, pork, beef, or duck, add 1 tbsp of oil to the pan.

3. Once the meat is crispy, add the mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
4. Toss in the spring onions and boiled potatoes, stirring to coat them in the flavours.
5. Pour in the mirin and coconut aminos, stirring to deglaze the pan and coat everything. Season with salt to taste.
6. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil, give it a final stir, and remove from the heat.
7. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds for extra crunch.
