Method
- Finely chop onion, quarter spring onion bulbs and chop the greens
- Soak red chillies in 1 tbsp of water and microwave for 1 min. Let it stay in the water for 15 mins
- Meanwhile, heat oil for frying potatoes
- Chop potatoes into wedges (we chopped them into fingers, but it became too oily - fatter pieces would have been better)
- Add a tsp of water at a time to the cornflour and make a thick paste
- Add potato wedges to the cornflour paste and mix well with your hands
- Deep fry the wedges and keep on thick paper towels to absorb extra oil
- Dry toast sesame seeds and keep aside
- Grind garlic and red chillies with the water in which they were soaked into a coarse paste
- Heat oil in a pan and add this paste
- Add onion and spring onion. Mix well and saute till onions turn translucent
-
Add chilli-garlic sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, salt and sugar and mix well
-
Add fried potato wedges and half the spring onion greens
-
Cook on medium heat for 2 mins to allow the sauce to coat wedges and for the flavours to infuse
-
Remove from heat
-
Garnish with remaining spring onion greens and toasted sesame seeds
-
Serve hot
