Today I’m excited to share an incredibly simple home-cooked dish—Sour and Spicy Shredded Potatoes! With its tangy and spicy flavor combined with a crispy texture, it’s definitely a rice lover’s dream! 👏

Ingredients:

  • 2 potatoes
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 2 dried red chilies
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • A pinch of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions:

  1. Peel and julienne the potatoes. Soak them in water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain well.
  2. Julienne the green bell pepper, cut dried red chilies into small sections, and mince the garlic.
  3. In a cold pan with cool oil, sauté the dried chilies and minced garlic until aromatic.
  4. Add the julienned potatoes and bell pepper strips; stir-fry on high heat until just tender.
  5. Stir in vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and sugar until evenly mixed.
  6. Mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry; pour it into the pan to thicken the sauce if desired.

Pro Tips:

  • The finer you julienne the potatoes, the better their texture will be.
  • Add vinegar at the end to retain its tanginess.
  • For extra heat, feel free to add more dried chilies.
