Recipe

Trim the ends of the potato slightly to stabilize it, then slice into very thin, fine strips about 5–6mm thick.
Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 1 minute to remove bitterness and starch, then drain thoroughly through a sieve to remove all moisture.
Crack two fresh eggs into a bowl and beat them gently without adding salt to create a smooth egg mixture.
Place the drained potato strips into a bowl and pour the pre-mixed egg liquid generously over them.
Sprinkle salt 1/3 tablespoon and sugar 1/4 tablespoon evenly over the mixture, then lightly stir with chopsticks to combine.
Mix green chili pepper (finely chopped), sugar 1/3 tablespoon, soy sauce 2 tablespoons, water 1 tablespoon, and vinegar 1/2 tablespoon to make a tangy yet mild dipping sauce.
Heat a pan and add a generous amount of vegetable oil. Scoop out an appropriate amount of the potato batter and spread it thinly on the pan.
When the bottom side turns golden and crispy like fried food, flip it with a spatula, press down lightly with the spatula, and continue cooking until the other side turns a rich golden brown.

Slice potatoes finely, soak in cold water for 1 minute, then drain and remove all moisture.
Mix the drained potato strips with beaten egg (without salt), salt 1/3 tablespoon, and sugar 1/4 tablespoon to form the batter.
Pour the potato batter onto a hot pan with plenty of oil and cook both sides until crisp and golden, then serve with a tangy soy sauce dressing.

Cooking tips

Avoid adding any frying powder or starch—using only egg liquid ensures a light, crispy texture while preserving the natural soft aroma of the potato.
After slicing, rinse the potato strips lightly in cold water and ensure they are completely dry before cooking to prevent oil splatter and achieve clean, crisp results.
Add a small amount of water to the dipping sauce to balance the strong saltiness of the soy sauce, allowing the subtle, refreshing taste of the potato to shine.
