Like the previous "Sri Lankan Night," Apartment Life was hosting a "Chinese Night," and I dropped in to see what they had planned. At the food table, I pointed to various goodies, many of which I hadn't tasted in a while: braised pork belly, tea eggs, chicken stewed in soy sauce. I was glad to eat some Chinese home cooking from students, although I did giggle a bit when I got to the "fried rice" that was simply white rice with frozen peas and corn stirred in.
Does anyone have a recipe for the marinated potato dish above (the thin, white shreds located around 7 o'clock)? The tubers are slicked in oil and something vinegary, and are just barely cooked so still have a bit of crunch, sort of like the texture of water chestnut. I remember my mom making this, but it's been a long, long time.

Those are potatoes? I always thought those were radishes - served with jellyfish and 'fragrant beef' slices?
ReplyDeleteI know what dish you're talking about—the radishes are kind of sweet and pickled, no?—but this is another thing. Julienned, barely sauteed 'taters with vinegar, or something.
