Cook’s Note

  1. Potatoes should be cut into shreds in similar sizes. The reason is different shred sizes requires different cooking time. So if we want to keep the cooking time precise, then cutting step is important. You can resort to some cutter if you do not like to cut shreds. In case you do want a try, here are some basic process, cut the potatoes into thin slices and arrange well as a slope and then further cut into shreds.
  2. Soak the shredded potatoes in clean water for around 10 minutes before frying to remove extra starch in the potatoes, making the shreds less sticky during the stir-fry process. Do remember to drain them before starting frying.
  3. Since acetic acid has strong volatility, in order to keep this dish sour, the vinegar should be added at the very end of the stir-frying process.

Ingredients

  • 1 large potato (white or yellow)
  • 2-4 dry chili peppers, cut into small shreds (removing the seeds if you do not want the dish too hot)
  • 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
  • ½ teaspoon of salt or as needed
  • ½ tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons black vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable cooking oil
  • Chopped spring onion and coriander for garnishing

Steps

  1. Wash the potatoes and then cut into shreds of similar size.Prepare a clean bowl with clean water. Then soak the shredded potatoes in water for several minutes.
  2. Drain shredded potatoes and set aside. Heat up oil in pan, then put in chili red pepper, Sichuan pepper firstly and fry until aromatic and then place garlic in.  Garlic can be burnt easily and bring a bitter taste of the dish. So garlic should be added after red pepper and Sichuan peppercorn are well fried. hot and sour shredded potato|chinasichuanfood.com

      Emily,
      I have two commonly used wok in my kitchen. A Hammered Carbon Steel, like this one on gas stove and a wok from Ikea on electric stove. Most of the wok can work perfectly fine on home cooking stoves.

    HI Elaine, This recipe promises a very tasty alternative to rice and noodles as the starch component of my meal. I was wondering what type of potato you recommend for the recipe; Red or Yukon Gold or Russet.

    Sounds delicious. Do you perhaps have a recipe for potatoes and Aubergines?
    I had that in China a couple of times, and cannot find a recipe that sounds right

    Soaking the potato makes a huge difference! Thanks for the great tip 🙂 Also I love how you get straight to the point and your tips are quick and easy to read unlike so many other food bloggers who write a whole novel before even getting to the recipe. Thanks for your hard work! 🙂
