Recipe 🍳
- Cut the potatoes into uniform thin strips.
- Soak the cut potatoes in water with one drop of vinegar to maintain firmness, then thoroughly drain all moisture.

- Heat oil in a pan and gently fry the dried chili to release its spicy aroma.
- 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).
- Add the drained potato strips and season with oyster sauce and chicken powder, quickly stir-frying until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are cooked through, finish by drizzling sesame oil around the edges.
- Slice potatoes into strips, soak in vinegar water, then drain completely.
- Fry dried chili in a pan to infuse oil with flavor, then add vegetables and soy sauce to build aroma.
- 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.
