Ingredients- 3 medium potatoes
- 40g carrot
- 1 swirl of cooking oil (approx. 1-2 Tbsp)
- 0.5 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- Generous amount of black pepper (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing 3 medium-sized potatoes. Choosing fresh potatoes is the first step to a delicious stir-fry.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Then, use a peeler to carefully remove the skin. Peeling the potatoes will result in a softer texture.
Step 3
Slice the peeled potatoes thinly into strips, about 3mm thick. Slicing them not too thick ensures they cook quickly and have a pleasant texture. Also, julienne the 40g of carrot into strips similar in length to the potatoes. About 1/5 the amount of carrot to potatoes is a good ratio for color and flavor.
Step 4
Place the julienned potatoes in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This prevents them from sticking together and results in fluffy stir-fried potatoes. After soaking, drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander.
Step 5
It’s important to first stir-fry the drained potatoes in a dry, unheated pan over medium heat to evaporate any remaining moisture. Once most of the water has evaporated, add a swirl of cooking oil (about 1-2 tablespoons) and continue to stir-fry over medium heat until the potatoes become translucent. Be careful not to burn them over high heat at this stage.
Step 6
As the potatoes start to turn translucent and cook, add the julienned carrots and stir-fry them together with the potatoes. The carrots will add a beautiful color and nutritional boost.
Step 7
When the potatoes are almost cooked and tender, add 0.5 teaspoons of salt to season. The amount of salt can be adjusted according to your personal preference and the quantity of potatoes used. Add a little more if needed.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are fully cooked and tender, just before turning off the heat, stir in 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds. The nutty aroma of the sesame seeds will enhance the overall flavor.
Step 9
Finally, generously sprinkle black pepper to your liking. The pungent aroma of black pepper complements the mild flavor of the potatoes, making the dish even more delicious.
Step 10
Your delicious and savory stir-fried potato noodles are ready! Serve them over warm rice for a simple rice bowl, or as a side dish. It’s a simple yet satisfying meal. 🙂
