For those who love curry even more than black bean sauce, today I’m introducing an ultra-simple side dish packed with curry flavor: the ‘Curried Potato Stir-Fry’ recipe. Make your dining table even richer with this magical stir-fry that’s guaranteed to be a rice-lover’s dream!
Main Ingredients- 2 medium potatoes
- 1/2 medium carrot
- 1 stalk green onion (white part mainly)
- 1-2 Tbsp curry powder (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and peel the potatoes and carrot. Julienne them into strips about 0.5 cm thick. Finely chop the white parts of the green onion. If you have an onion, julienne it to a similar size as the potatoes and carrots for added depth of flavor.
Step 2
Soak the julienned potatoes in cold water for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch. This step prevents the potatoes from sticking together when stir-frying, resulting in a cleaner texture.
Step 3
Instead of stir-frying the potatoes immediately after rinsing, we’ll briefly pre-cook them in the microwave. Place the potato strips in a microwave-safe bowl, add just 1-2 tablespoons of water, and microwave for about 3 minutes. This method ensures the potatoes cook evenly in a short time, eliminating worries about them burning or being undercooked in the pan, thus shortening the overall cooking time.
Step 4
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped green onions and sauté them slowly until fragrant. This process infuses the oil with the sweet aroma of the onions, creating ‘scallion oil’ which adds an extra layer of deliciousness to the dish.
Step 5
Once the scallion oil is fragrant, add the pre-cooked potato strips and begin to stir-fry. When the potatoes are about halfway cooked, add the julienned carrots (and onion, if using) and continue to stir-fry until all vegetables are tender and evenly cooked. Gently toss with chopsticks or a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
When the vegetables are almost fully cooked, it’s time to add the curry powder. To prevent clumping, sprinkle the curry powder gradually, a little at a time, while stirring. The curry powder itself is seasoned, so I didn’t add any extra salt; I seasoned it solely with the curry powder. If you prefer a milder curry flavor, use less curry powder and adjust the seasoning with salt to your preference. Finally, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and mix lightly to complete this delicious curried potato stir-fry!
Step 7
And there you have it! The ‘Curried Potato Stir-Fry’ is beautifully completed, boasting a wonderful curry aroma and deep savory flavor!
Step 8
One bite reveals the incredible combination of the aromatic curry and the tender potatoes – it’s absolutely delightful! The inclusion of curry, known for its health benefits, makes this dish feel even more nourishing. Its mild flavor profile makes it an excellent side dish for children, as well as a fantastic option for adults’ meals. If you’re a fan of curry, I highly recommend giving this ‘Curried Potato Stir-Fry’ a try!
