Ingredients

Potatoes 300g

Dried chilies 3 pcs

Peanut oil 30g

Chili oil A little

Sesame oil 5g

Salt 3- 5g

Chicken powder A little

Zhenjiang vinegar A little

Instructions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes, wash them, cut them into thin slices, and then cut into thin strips.

Step 2

Rinse the cut potato strips under the tap for a moment to wash away the starch.

Step 3

Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the potato strips (cook for 1-2 minutes after the water boils), then drain and set aside.

Step 4

Cut the dried red chilies into small segments and set aside.

Step 5

Wash the wok and heat it up. Turn to low heat, pour in an appropriate amount of peanut oil, and stir-fry the dried chili segments in the oil until they change color. Turn to high heat, pour in the potato strips and stir-fry quickly for a few times, then pour in an appropriate amount of Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar and continue to stir-fry until completely cooked. The potato strips with vinegar will be crispier and won't become mushy. Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar already contains added white sugar, so the vinegar has a slightly sweet taste, which greatly elevates the sour flavor.

Step 6

Add chili oil, salt, and chicken bouillon and continue to stir-fry for a few times. Then drizzle in some sesame oil, stir-fry evenly, and transfer to a serving plate.
