Spicy and Sour Potato Shredded

Today I cooked spicy and sour potato shredded which is a common dish on the Chinese dinner table. It seems that I have been eating vegetarian dishes these days. No way, just because I want to eat.

The vinegar makes the potato shreddde crisp, plus the hot and sour taste, are enough to consume at least two bowls of rice. I would like to order it even when I go to a restaurant. The shredded potatoes cut with a knife are thick enough, so I like to have them with crispy and tender texture one by one. 

Simple ingredients, excellent taste. If we are willing to spend time to percieve, a dish and a bowl of rice will be a very happy thing, right?

Why use a knife not a grater

We know the potato shredded cut with a grater are thinner. When stir-frying they could not keep the crispy texture easy. So we use a knife to cut them, but they should not be too thick.  At this time, it reflects the importance of the knife skills.

Why do I sometimes add a little sugar when stir-frying for some dishes 

It is not to get sweet tast, but to make the dishes more delicious. Chinese chief often do this.

Notes

Dried chili or fresh chili,  Choose anyone as long as you like.

Before stir-frying soak the potato shredded with water to remove the starch. Then they will be crispy more. This step is also to prevent the potatoes from turning black.
