Ingredients

500 g (about 1 lb) potatoes, 50 g fresh cilantro cut into sections, 15 g dried red chili peppers.

Seasonings

5 g minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon MSG, 1/2 teaspoon each sugar, Sichuan pepper oil, and sesame oil, plus vegetable oil as needed.

2. Wash dried red chili peppers, remove stems and seeds, then cut into thin strips.

3. Leave a small amount of oil in the wok and heat it over medium heat. First, add the dried red chili pepper strips and minced garlic, stir-frying until fragrant. Then add the potato slices, along with salt, sugar, and MSG. Reduce the heat to low and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Finally, sprinkle in the cilantro segments, drizzle with Sichuan pepper oil and sesame oil, then remove from the wok and plate.
