Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 pieces Dried red chilies
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin matchstick-like strips, approximately 3mm thick. Soak the potato strips in cold water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Mince the garlic and slice the dried red chilies into small pieces. Chop the green onion into 2-inch sections, separating the white and green parts.
In a wok or a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, dried chilies, and the white parts of the green onion. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the potato strips to the wok. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes, stirring continuously, until the potatoes are slightly softened but still have a light crunch.
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to the potatoes. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning and continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and drizzle the sesame oil on top. Toss the potatoes gently to combine.
Garnish with the green parts of the green onion and serve immediately as a side dish or pair with steamed rice for a light meal.
