Spicy and Sour Cabbage Crystal Noodles

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Soak a small handful of sweet potato starch in warm water for a while until softened, then drain and set aside. (If you are in a hurry, you can cook it in boiling water.)

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Shred a cabbage into thin strips and chop the scallions.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Heat a little oil in a pan. Add one star anise and some Sichuan peppercorns. Fry until fragrant.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Once the Sichuan peppercorns and star anise have darkened in color, add the chopped scallions and sauté until fragrant. When the scallions turn yellow, remove all the other ingredients from the pan.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Only scallion oil remains in the pot. At this point, you can add a few dried red chilies according to your taste. I like spicy food, so I broke the chilies into small pieces before adding them to the pot to make it spicier.

   Step 6

   When the chili peppers turn a darker shade, almost black, add the cabbage and sweet potato noodles. Stir-fry quickly, then add salt, sugar, balsamic vinegar, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken powder. Continue stir-frying quickly until the noodles are chewy and edible. If you prefer a brighter color, drizzle with sesame oil before serving.

   And just like that, the dish was happily completed. I like to garnish it a little. This time, I added a small sprig of cilantro. Pretty good, right?! Thank you all for your attention and support. I will continue to work hard to research and develop more delicious and healthy dishes to share with you all.
