How to Make Stir-Fried Green Peppers and Potatoes

Stir-fried green peppers and potatoes is a popular, quick-to-make dish loved for its vibrant colors and harmonious flavors. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: 2 potatoes (peeled and sliced into thin rounds), 2 green peppers (seeded and cut into strips), 3 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, 2 tbsp cooking oil, and a pinch of sesame oil (optional).

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Soak potato slices in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain. Pat dry with a paper towel.

2. Heat the wok: Add oil to a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, stir-fry the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

3. Cook the potatoes: Add the potato slices and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until they turn golden and slightly softened. Cover the wok briefly to speed up cooking if needed.

4. Add green peppers: T in the green pepper strips and continue stir-frying for 2–3 minutes until they remain crisp-tender.

5. Season: Drizzle in soy sauce, sprinkle sugar and salt, and toss everything evenly. Stir-fry for another minute.

6. Finish: Turn off the heat, add a drop of sesame oil for extra aroma (if using), and serve hot with steamed rice.

This dish balances the earthiness of potatoes with the freshness of green peppers, making it a comforting meal for any day!
