There are many homemade Chinese potato dishes, and here’s a very simple Chinese potato recipe for today. This cold potato salad is great to serve on hot summer days and easy to prepare.

Then you add the rest of the ingredients fresh, making this Chinese Shredded Potato Salad a quick side dish for your lunch or dinner, or family picnic.

Ingredients for Chinese Shredded Potato Salad:

• 1 potato
• 1 green pepper
• 5 grams (1 tsp) light soy sauce 
• 2 grams (1/2 tsp) dark soy sauce
• 5 grams (1 tsp) white vinegar 
• 2 grams (1/2 tsp) of sesame oil 
• 4 grams (1 tsp) salt 
• 3 grams (3/4 tsp) sugar 
• 3 garlic cloves 
• 1 bunch of fresh coriander (cilantro)

Cooking:

1. Peel and Julienne the potato into long, thin strips and rinse them twice with water. First, peel the potato, then slice it lengthwise as shown. Next, lay the slices flat on your cutting board and slice these lengthwise.
    
2. Put the potato shreds into boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Then remove them, and submerge in cold water to stop the cooking process.
    
3. Julienne-slice the green pepper, mince the garlic, and chop the coriander.
    
4. Make the sauce: Put the salt, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl and mix well.
    
5. Add the sauce, Julienned green pepper, and coriander to the potato shreds, stir well, and finish.
    

Notes

• Rinsing the potato shreds removes the starch on the surface of the potatoes, which will make them crispier. 
• In the United States, it is impossible to get green Chinese chilis. However, substituting Anaheim peppers works well. The Anaheim peppers are fairly mild. If you want more heat, substitute a large jalapeno instead.
