The skill of cooking Spicy and Sour Potato floss

Have you tried to cook this kind of dish? Although the spicy and sour vegetable dish is ordinary, it is not easy to do well. How to keep the potatoes cook enough and keep crisp is the key. This has a close relationship with the choice of potatoes, the processing of potato floss, and the timing of the heat while it is cooking. It is best to choose new potatoes with high water content, and the potatoes should be put into the water a while after cutting. When you cook the potatoes floss, you need to stir them up and down frequently. If you learn those a few skills, you can cook the dish of potatoes floss like the chef cooked in a restaurant. Yay! You will reach the professional chef level.

Spicy is first key

The amount of pepper in the hot and sour potato floss should be appropriate. Be careful not to put too much. Too hot is easy to cause people to get “fire” on your skin, such as acne, skin infection.

Sour is second key

I like to use Chen vinegar (dark vinegar) instead of white vinegar to cook. Although the color is slightly darker, the scent of vinegar is far mellower than that of white vinegar. Although the color of the vinegar is better with white vinegar, the taste of white vinegar feels too strong. If your taste is too strong, I will choose the ingredients based on the taste.

Nutrition of Potatoes

The potatoes have rich nutrition and elements. The rich nutrition and elements can peace mind and make the skin to be more beautiful. It can improve gastrointestinal function, high blood pressure.

How to prepare potatoes before cooking

you cut potato, you need to cut two pieces first on the top of a potato, and then cut the cut side flat on the cutting board, so that the potatoes are flattened to cut out thick and even potato chips. When cutting potatoes, be sure to put them into the water basin immediately after you cut. Otherwise, the potatoes will change color. Potato floss must be clean for a few times to remove the starch till water is clear because the starch will stick to the pan when you fry.
