Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Frozen French fries
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha or chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (green onions)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven or air fryer and cook the frozen French fries as per the package instructions until they are crispy and golden brown. Set them aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the red and green bell peppers and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but still maintain some crunch.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, cumin powder, paprika, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the empty space. Add the cooked French fries to the skillet.
Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fries and vegetables, then toss everything together to evenly coat the fries and vegetables in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the fries.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried French fries to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped scallions and fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy hot!
