Cooking tips
- Mala sauces vary in saltiness and numbing intensity, so it's best not to add it all at once. Taste and adjust as needed.
- If your store-bought mala sauce has too many chunks, blend it finely in a mixer so the sauce coats the french fries evenly.
- Don't discard the oil used for frying the potatoes and scallions, as it's infused with their flavors. Use it for frying eggs or other stir-fry dishes.
- Since this is a Sichuan-style snack with strong numbing and spicy flavors, it's recommended to put beer in the freezer beforehand.
Recommended for
- Those who want to use up leftover frozen french fries in a unique and delicious way.
- Those looking for a spicy and numbing snack that pairs perfectly with cold beer.
- Those who want to use mala sauce in a super simple dish beyond hot pots or stir-fries.
