Turned out really well. A bit sweet at first, but we enjoyed it.

Loved the flavors in this dish for something new and definitely filling. Made the fried egg for the top and added some chili garlic sauce to counter the bit of sweetness. Will make again.

This was just, just okay. It looked like dog food. The taste was a bit bland, probably should have added the egg. But maybe I just don't like hash? I want potatoes to be crispy, didn't love the potatoe preperation in this dish.

Easy and tasty! Topped with fried eggs as suggested for brunch and it was great. My husband liked the mix of flavors, but personally I didn’t care for the sweetness. I would make it again but try it without the brown sugar. Or maybe increase some bitter/sour to balance the sweetness?

This was a delicious and easy to put together hash dish. The flavors all come together really well and I think it has just the right amount of sweetness from the vinegar and ginger. Only complaint is that it took a bit longer than the proposed 30 minutes to cook -- it was closer to an hour after I had done all the prep. Added an egg and sriracha for a little added kick.

Loved this one, easy to make with good combination of flavours. Definitely worth putting fried egg on top. Next time I’ll precook the potatoes a bit longer in the microwave to save time on the stovetop.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It's easy to whip up for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I found the sweetness pleasant and definitely went with a sunny side up egg and sriracha on top. That helped to balance the sweetness. The cilantro and scallions really elevate this.

I've been cooking from the Milk Street: Tuesday Nights book quite a bit recently and this is the first miss. The Rice vinegar manages to overwhelm both the Worcestershire and soy sauce to leave a sweet taste. The sweetness with meat was not what I expected and I didn't really like it. I might make this again simply leaving out the vinegar or perhaps replacing it with another type of vinegar. I like the combination of ginger/scallions/pork and potato.
