A super simple Chengdu night market-style beer snack made by crisping up leftover frozen french fries and tossing them in scallion oil and a zesty mala sauce.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

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.
