Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Potatoes
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 pieces Dried red chilies
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons Black vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 500 milliliters Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and julienne them into thin matchstick-like strips. Place them in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch and to prevent them from oxidizing.
Peel and mince the garlic. Chop the dried red chilies into small pieces, and slice the scallions thinly, separating the white and green parts.
Bring 500 milliliters of water to a boil in a pot. Drain the julienned potatoes and blanch them in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes to partially cook them, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the Sichuan peppercorns and dried red chilies, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the spices.
Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the blanched potato strips to the wok and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the aromatics.
Season the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of black vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Toss everything together well.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are just tender but still have a slight crunch.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the green parts of the scallions over the dish as a garnish.
Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course.
