Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the potatoes into uniform thin strips.

  4. Heat oil in a pan and gently fry the dried chili to release its spicy aroma.
  5. Add the green onion, garlic, bell pepper, and red chili, then pour soy sauce around the edge of the pan to create a smoky aroma (fumé).
  6. Add the drained potato strips and season with oyster sauce and chicken powder, quickly stir-frying until well combined.
  7. Once the potatoes are cooked through, finish by drizzling sesame oil around the edges.
  1. Slice potatoes into strips, soak in vinegar water, then drain completely.

  3. Add potato strips and seasonings, stir-fry rapidly over high heat, then finish with sesame oil.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Soaking potatoes in vinegar water briefly removes excess starch, prevents them from breaking apart during stir-frying, and maintains a crisp texture.
  • To achieve authentic Chinese-style flavor, it's essential to pour soy sauce along the edge of the pan to create a smoky aroma.
