   Wash the chicken, chop it into pieces, put it in a pot of cold water, and remove it as soon as the water boils. Rinse it with clean water to remove any scum. Set aside.

   Step 3

   Peel the potatoes.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Slice or dice (it cooks slower), whichever you prefer, and soak in cold water to wash away the starch. You can also use green beans or other vegetables instead.

   Soak the glass noodles for an hour in advance, rinse them clean, and set aside.

   Step 6

   Heat a wok until the oil is about 70% hot, then add scallions, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add chopped chili peppers and Pixian chili bean paste or hot pot base (optional, it won't affect the taste).

   Step 7

   Sprinkle in five-spice powder and chili powder, then add chicken pieces, a suitable amount of dark soy sauce, a little sugar, and salt. Stir-fry.

   Add water (or beer), simmer for a while until the meat is almost cooked, then add the prepared potato slices, cover and simmer for five minutes.

   After the potato slices are cooked through, stir-fry them to fully absorb the broth and flavor.

    Serve it on a plate! Since there are many people in my family, I used two plates. It's delicious with rice.
