Ingredients

4 small-medium russet potatoes peeled
3 green onions sliced into 1 inch long pieces
1 large red chilli chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
1 tablespoon regular soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoon white vinegar or Chinese black vinegar, rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Thinly slice peeled potatoes into ½-cm thick pieces that are about 2-inches long. This ensures a faster cooking process.
In a large bowl, soak potato slices in cold water for a couple of minutes and strain out the water using a colander. Shake out as much excess water as possible and dry the potatoes with a clean paper towels.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Sauté garlic and red chilli and avoid inhaling the red chilis as they can cause you to cough.
Toss in thinly sliced potatoes with aromatics.
Season potatoes with salt, regular soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Mix well. Cook for 7-9 minutes until potatoes are tender to taste. At the 7 minute mark, taste test the potatoes to check if they're tender enough and if they're not ready, continue cooking until they are.
Lastly, toss in green onions and season with white vinegar and remove off heat. Serve hot and enjoy
