Sour and Spicy Potato Stir-Fry 酸辣土豆丝 (pronounced Suan La Tu Dou Si) is common in regions of China (particularly North, Northeast) where winter is harsh and cold, with less leafy green vegetables harvest. At this time, families turn to tuber or rhizome such as potato; and bell peppers to concoct vegetarian dishes. Well, I know potato is considered STARCH by many and never a vegetable. But in Chinese cuisine, potato can be found in small appetizers known as 小菜.

I like the plates of xiao cai in Chinese restaurants. Great appetisers.
ReplyDeleteI make a dish similar to dish but I use mountain yam instead of potato. This sounds great though! I haven't tried a stir fried potato dish in a while now.
ReplyDeleteThe addition of those mushrooms really give the dish an added dimension. Looks perfect with steamed white rice. Really good!
