Chinese Style Spicy Potatoes (Chinese Potato Stir Fry)

This Chinese-style potato recipe brings together the savory, spicy flavors of Chinese cuisine with the comfort of potatoes. The potatoes are stir-fried with aromatic spices, soy sauce, and a hint of sweetness to create a delicious dish that pairs perfectly with steamed rice or can be enjoyed on its own.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips (julienned)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 green chilies, chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional for sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional for added heat)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons water (if needed for stir-frying)
  • 2-3 spring onions (scallions), chopped (for garnish)
  • A pinch of sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Peel and cut the potatoes into thin julienne strips. Soak the cut potatoes in water for about 10-15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a towel.

  2. Stir-fry the Potatoes:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potatoes in small batches, and stir-fry them until they turn golden and crispy on the edges (about 5-7 minutes per batch). Remove and set aside on a plate.

  3. Cook the Aromatics:

    • In the same wok, add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and green chilies, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. Add the Bell Pepper:

    • If using, add the bell pepper to the wok and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing it to soften slightly but remain crunchy.

  5. Mix in the Sauces and Spices:

    • Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, chili powder, black pepper, and ground coriander. Stir to combine and let it cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. Combine with Potatoes:

    • Return the fried potatoes to the wok, toss gently to coat them with the sauce mixture. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water if needed to help mix the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the potatoes to soak up the flavors.

  7. Finish with Sesame Oil:

    • Drizzle sesame oil over the potatoes and give everything a final toss. Cook for another 1-2 minutes for a fragrant finish.

  8. Garnish and Serve:

    • Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds (optional). Serve hot with steamed rice or as an appetizer.

Tips:

  • Adjust spice level: You can add more or less chili powder or fresh chilies based on your desired spice level.
  • Crispy potatoes: For an extra crispy texture, you can shallow fry the potatoes until golden and crisp before adding them to the stir-fry. Alternatively, you can parboil the potatoes and stir-fry them for a softer texture.
  • Vegetarian/Vegan: This recipe is naturally vegetarian and can be made vegan if you choose a soy sauce that is free from animal-based products.

This Chinese-style spicy potato stir-fry is a perfect side dish with its crispy texture and bold, flavorful sauce!
