Ingredients食材
- Potato土豆2
- Rice vinegar米醋2 tbsp大勺
- Dried chilies干辣椒4
- Garlic大蒜2 cloves瓣
- Neutral oil (canola or vegetable)中性油（菜籽或植物油）2 tbsp大勺
- Fine salt细盐0.75 tsp小勺
Method做法
Get the oil hot in a wok or 30-cm skillet, then sizzle the dried chilies and garlic for 15 seconds.
炒锅或30厘米的锅里把油烧热，干辣椒和蒜下去爆香。
The spices smell toasted, without smoking.香料出香，不冒烟。
Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪，怎么补救
If spices darken or smell burnt, discard and start again; burnt spice is bitter.香料变黑或焦味就倒掉重来，焦香料发苦。
Add the potatoes and keep them moving the whole time. Left sitting in the pan: a sticky heap of shreds. Keep them moving. That's when the strands stay separate, still with a bit of snap.
土豆丝倒进去，手别停，一直翻炒。下锅就不动的，土豆丝黏成一坨。不停地翻，丝才会分开，还带着脆。
The shreds turn slightly see-through but still snap when bitten.土豆丝略透明，但咬起来仍脆。
Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪，怎么补救
Wet potatoes spit oil: dry them better. Turning mushy? Take off heat sooner next time.土豆湿会溅油，要沥更干。变软烂下次早点离火。
Splash the vinegar around the hot edge of the pan, add the salt, and toss.
醋顺着热锅边淋一圈，撒盐，再翻炒。
The potatoes smell sharply sour and look glossy.土豆丝酸香扑鼻、油亮。
Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪，怎么补救
Vinegar steam is strong; keep your face back.醋气很冲，脸离远些。
Divide among 4 bowls and serve.
分到4只碗里，上桌。

Ingredients explained食材讲解
Potato土豆Russet for mash and fries, Yukon Gold for creamy everything. Store dark and cool, not fridge.粉的(Russet)做泥和薯条，黄心(Yukon)更绵。阴凉避光存放，别冷藏。
Rice vinegar米醋Rice vinegar is mild for Asian dressings and quick pickles; white vinegar is sharper — use less.米醋温和，适合亚洲凉拌和快腌；白醋更冲，要少放。
Garlic大蒜Crush and rest 10 min before heating to keep more allicin. Avoid sprouted cloves.拍碎静置10分钟再加热，保留更多大蒜素。发芽的别用。
- Neutral oil (canola or vegetable)中性油（菜籽或植物油）
Extra-virgin olive oil for finishing; neutral oils (avocado, canola) for high heat.特级初榨橄榄油淋面；高温用中性油（牛油果油、菜籽油）。
Fine salt细盐Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) is less salty by volume than table salt; use about half if swapping to table salt.犹太盐（Diamond Crystal）按体积比食盐淡；换成食盐时约减半。

Make it a balanced meal营养搭配建议
Balanced plate: ½ vegetables (stir-fried greens, smashed cucumber), ¼ this dish, ¼ rice or noodles.均衡一盘：½蔬菜（炒青菜、拍黄瓜）、¼这道菜、¼米饭或面。
Why it works: aim for half the plate vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter whole grains or starch — then let one rich dish be the star.搭配思路：半盘蔬菜、四分之一蛋白、四分之一主食；一桌里只让一道浓郁的菜当主角。
