Qingjiao Chao Tudousi Chinese Stir Fried Chilies And Potatoes Recipes

QINGJIAO CHAO TUDOUSI (CHINESE STIR-FRIED CHILIES AND POTATOES)

Steps:

• Early in the day, bring water and salt to a boil in a saucepan.
• Cut potatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices, then finely julienne. Add the potato to the boiling water and parboil for 1 minute, stirring as needed to keep them from sticking together. Drain well and let dry for several hours.
• When it's time to fix dinner, wash chilies, remove seeds, and cut julienne, to roughly match the potatoes in size and shape.
• Heat a wok over high heat until you see the heat rise from the surface.
• Add the oil, swirling to coat the wok and heat the oil.
• Add the potato and chili and stir fry until coated with oil.
• Add the vinegar and salt, and stir fry until the liquid has evaporated.
• Serve as part of a Chinese meal: chilies and potatoes, a couple of meat dishes, a green vegetable, a soup, and cooked rice.

JI DAN CHAO XI HONG SHI (STIR-FRIED EGGS & TOMATOES)

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and sesame oil together in a mixing bowl. Chop the green onions and slice the tomatoes into wedges.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat until the oil is hot, then add the green onions and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, salt, and sugar and stir-fry for 1 minute.
• Pour in the egg mixture and let cook for 1 minute, then use your spatula to break the egg into pieces and stir-fry until the eggs set (about 2 more minutes). Sprinkle with a few chopped green onions and serve.

CHINESE STIR-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with water and salt in a medium saucepan; heat to a boil; cook 1 minute; drain.
• Transfer to a bowl filled with cold water and ice; cool completely, drain on paper towel; pat dry.
• Heat a wok over high heat; add vegetable oil.

• Cook, stirring, until all liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes.

COUNTRY FRIED POTATOES WITH HATCH CHILES

Steps:

• Place Hatch chiles directly on the grates of a gas stove over medium heat. Cook, flipping with tongs occasionally, until blackened and charred, about 5 minutes. Place in a sealed plastic bag and allow to cool, 7 to 8 minutes. Peel off charred skins, remove seeds, and slice chiles.
• Slice potato using a mandoline.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add potato slices and fry undisturbed until starting to brown and soften, 8 to 12 minutes. Add onion slices and chiles. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper. Stir to combine. Cook until onions are translucent and potatoes are fully softened and browned on the second side, 5 to 8 minutes.

SMASHED POTATOES WITH THAI-STYLE CHILE AND HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush a sheet pan all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 1 inch; add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 18 minutes, until the potatoes are just fork tender. Pour into a colander to drain, then return the cooked potatoes to the pot off the heat to help any remaining moisture evaporate.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, chile, soy sauce, sugar and garlic, then stir in the cilantro and scallions.
• Place the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, gently smash each potato until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over the potatoes and carefully flip to coat both sides in oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
• Transfer the potatoes to a platter, sprinkle lightly with salt, then spoon the sauce on top. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve hot.

QING CHAO CAI HUA (CHINESE STIR-FRIED CAULIFLOWER)

Steps:

• Wash bell pepper, remove stem and seeds, and cut into thin slivers.
• Over highest heat, heat the empty wok, then add oil and swirl to heat. Add cauliflower and stir-fry briefly. Add bell pepper, sugar, salt, and MSG, tossing after each addition.
• Transfer to serving platter, and serve as part of a Chinese meal: rice, soup, and a balanced variety of dishes--one per person.
