Amazing! This is just like how we used to eat in when we lived in China. I’ve very much enjoyed these recipes. No changes at all!

While I was reading about this recipe, I couldn’t stop nodding my head and smiling as it’s one of my favourite dishes! I was in China for close to 5 years and I loved this simple, understated yet delicious dish. I cook it from time to time. It’s unpretentious and like a warm hug.

Thanks a ton for sharing this and other dishes, Wei. I am so happy to have discovered Red House Spice.

In reply to K. Practically, you can use any types of medium/large sized potatoes. Their finished taste and texture vary a little, e.g. some are more starchy (sticky) while others are more crunchy. It depends on your own preference. I'd suggest you try making it with different types then decide what works best for you.

Hi! I was wondering what kind of potato I should use for Chinese dishes like this — is a russet potato good, or should I use yellow waxy potatoes, or red skin potatoes? It looks so good and I want to make it right!

In reply to CS. My pleasure to share! In most cases, you don't need a lot of oil to make a tasty dish.

In reply to Maureen.snell@orange.fr. Sorry, I don't think I'm able to help you based on the information you provide. Could you please describe the dish more? Which ingredients does it consist of? Is it deep-fried? etc.

In the sixties I used to go to a Chinese restaurant in Ilford, Essex which served black, crispy nests of food which I craved for. What was it and where is it now?
