Stir fried potato threads in garlic chili sauce

I have always been fascinated by Chinese Cuisines. This one is pretty simple, easy to prepare and tastes amazing as a starter or with Rice. I have given some pictures on slicing potatoes and cutting them, hope this will help you in chopping the vegetable.



Ingredients:
  1. Large Potato -1 (Serves 2 - 3 person)
  2. Garlic 10 pods, Finely chopped.
  3. Salt as per taste
  4. Red Chili Sauce - 1 Tb spn
  5. Chili Flakes - 1 tb spn or as preferred
  6. Fennel Seeds - 1 tb spn coarsely crushed.
  7. Vinegar 1/4 tbl spoon (optional)
  8. Olive / Sesame Oil for frying - 1 Tbl Spoon  OR  Regular cooking  oil if you do not prefer other oil

Steps to Cook:

Slice the potatoes as described, soak in water for about 15 min. After that wash twice in fresh water and take potatoes off of water and keep aside

Heat oil in a large non stick pan (pan or wok suits well to fry). [Whole recipe is done in medium flame]

Add garlic followed by chili flakes, crushed fennel seeds, and chili sauce. Saute for less than a minute.

Add the washed potato threads and sprinkle salt. Saute lightly and toss well. After a minute add vinegar and toss again so that almost all of the potatoes get coated.

Toss and fry for 4 - 5 minutes. You can notice the potatoes loose it hardness and become soft, at this point taste for seasoning and add if extra salt is needed.

Serve hot, it can be eaten as starter before meal, or with plain rice or just that.
Try this and do surprise your loved ones. Keep cooking and share your reviews.
