Main Ingredients- 4 medium potatoes
- 1/2 onion
Seasoning- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1.5 Tbsp oligosaccharide
- 0.3 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 Tbsp sesame oil
- 0.5 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1.5 Tbsp oligosaccharide
- 0.3 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 Tbsp sesame oil
- 0.5 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 4 medium-sized potatoes. Wash them thoroughly under running water and then peel off the skin using a potato peeler. Rinse the peeled potatoes once more.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to julienne the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Aim for a thickness of about 0.3 cm. If they’re too thick, they’ll take longer to cook, and if they’re too thin, they might break apart, so try to cut them evenly.
Step 3
Take a wide pan and add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Heat it over medium heat. Add the shredded potatoes and stir-fry for about 1 minute, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the pan. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it steam for about 1 minute. This step helps the potatoes cook through and become tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, thinly julienne the 1/2 onion you prepared, to a similar thickness as the potatoes. Having the onion pre-sliced will make the cooking process smoother.
Step 5
Lift the lid from the pan and place the julienned onion over the potatoes. Now it’s time to season. First, sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of salt evenly over the ingredients to season them. Adding salt first helps it penetrate the potatoes and onions uniformly.
Step 6
Next, add 1.5 tablespoons of oligosaccharide to the pan for sweetness. Oligosaccharide adds a nice sheen and enhances the savory flavor. Stir-fry for another 3 minutes, being careful not to burn it. Continue to cook until the potato shreds become translucent and are well coated with the sauce.
Step 7
This is the final seasoning step. Sprinkle 0.3 teaspoon of black pepper over the dish for a fragrant aroma. You can adjust the amount of pepper to your preference.
Step 8
Drizzle in 0.5 tablespoon of fragrant sesame oil. Sesame oil further enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 9
Finally, sprinkle 0.5 tablespoon of savory toasted sesame seeds on top. Your delicious stir-fried shredded potatoes are now ready! Enjoy them with a warm bowl of rice.
