Stir Fried Potatoes And Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cool water by 2 inches. Season heavily with salt. (The water should taste like very salty seawater once the salt has dissolved.) Place over high heat, bring to a boil and cook until there's no resistance when a knife or cake tester is poked through the largest potato, about 10 minutes after they come to a boil. Drain potatoes and spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet to air-dry.
• While the potatoes cook, make the spice blend: In a small bowl, shake the Sichuan peppercorns and discard any shiny black seeds, twigs or leaf fragments. Add the husks to a dry wok, along with the star anise, fennel seeds, white peppercorns and half the cumin seeds. Toast over medium heat, tossing frequently, until very aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a small bowl to cool slightly. Return wok to heat and add remaining cumin seeds and the chiles. Toss and stir until very aromatic, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a second small bowl.
• When cool, transfer the spice mixture in the first bowl, along with the 2 chiles from the second bowl to an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Add salt, sugar and chicken bouillon. Grind to a fine powder and return to the empty bowl.
• Add the cumin seeds that toasted with the chiles to the spice grinder or the mortar (no need to clean it out) and pound or pulse until very coarsely ground. (There should be large, distinct pieces of cumin seeds.) Add half-ground cumin and the sesame seeds to the rest of the spice mixture and stir to incorporate.
• Stir-fry the potatoes: When potatoes are dry, heat 3 tablespoons oil in the wok over high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until browned in spots, about 4 minutes.
• Clear a small space in the center of the wok and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to it. Immediately add the garlic, scallions and spice mixture to the oil and stir until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Toss everything until the potatoes are thoroughly coated in spices, about 15 seconds. Season to taste with more salt as desired. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes and eggplant into wedges about 3 inches long. Cut peppers into pieces about 1 inch by 3 inches. In a bowl, whisk together stock, cornstarch, soy sauce and vinegar.
• In a wok, heat 3 cups oil to about 350 degrees, until a bit of potato bubbles fiercely when dropped in. Working in batches to avoid crowding pan, deep-fry potatoes, then eggplant, until golden all over and brown around edges, about 5 minutes a batch. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
• Discard frying oil from wok and reheat wok over high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact. Swirl in 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and add peppers, stir-frying briskly until edges just start to brown. Add garlic, stir-fry 30 seconds, then return fried potatoes and eggplant to wok, stir-frying to combine.
• Add half the liquid mixture. Let simmer, stirring gently, until sauce is hot and thickened. Taste vegetables for doneness; they should be tender but not mushy. Cook, adding liquid a little at a time and allowing it to cook down, until vegetables are done. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Slice them thinly in food processor. Heat a nonstick pan large enough to hold all the ingredients, over very high heat.
• Add oil, and reduce heat to medium high. When oil is hot, add potatoes, and brown, stirring often.
• Grind beef in food processor.
• Chop whole onion.
• As potatoes begin to brown, stir in the beef and brown it.
• Wash, trim, seed and slice both kinds of peppers into thick strips, and then slice in food processor.
• Add onion and peppers to the pan, and stir well. Continue cooking over medium heat.
• Wash, trim and dice tomatoes and add to the pan with thyme, salt and pepper. Cover, and continue cooking over medium-low heat until vegetables are soft and flavors are well blended.

Steps:

• Slice onion thin; put garlic through press and mince ginger; stir fry in hot oil in large skillet for one minute.
• Cut peppers in strips; add to skillet and stir fry about 5 minutes, until crisp-tender.
• Add soy sauce, vinegar and pepper and cook another minute. Serve.

Steps:

• Scrub but do not peel potatoes; slice in food processor.
• Heat nonstick pan large enough to hold all the ingredients until it is very hot. Reduce heat to medium-high; add oil and add potatoes. Stir often to brown on both sides.
• Chop whole onion, and add to potatoes as they cook.
• Wash, trim and seed peppers, and slice in food processor. When potatoes and onions have begun to brown, add peppers and cook a couple of minutes over medium heat.
• Add stock; reduce to simmer, cover and continue to cook until all of the ingredients are soft.
• Season with salt and pepper.
