CHINESE COLD POTATO SICHUAN SALAD

PREP TIME: 20 MINS

COOKING TIME: 5 MINS

SERVES: 4 – 6

INGREDIENTS

 

700g Spud Light potato, peeled

1/2 bunch (150g) enoki mushrooms

1 long red chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced

1 Lebanese cucumber, halved, deseeded and thinly sliced into batons

1 cup bean sprouts

1 bunch coriander, leaves torn

2 spring onions (white part only), julienned

 

Dressing

 

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

2 teaspoons mushroom soy sauce

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 teaspoons grated ginger

2 teaspoons caster sugar

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

½ teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns, roughly ground

2 teaspoons chilli crisp oil with chunky bits (eg Marion’s Kitchen Crispy Chilli Oil)

METHOD

 

Step 1
Peel potatoes and slice into 5mm thick rounds and then slice each round into matchsticks. Place potato matchsticks into a bowl covered in cold water and leave to stand for 5 minutes before draining and running under cold water until water runs clear.

Step 2
Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Add potato matchsticks and cook for 1-2 minutes until just cooked but still holding shape. Remove potato using a slotted spoon or spider and refresh under cold water using a colander or sieve. Drain.

Step 3
Using the same saucepan and boiling water, add enoki mushrooms and cook for 30 seconds before removing with a slotted spoon. Drain and gently squeeze to remove excess water.

Step 4
Place cooked potato in a medium mixing bowl, patting dry with kitchen paper. Add cooked mushrooms, cucumber, bean sprouts, coriander and spring onions, tossing gently to combine.

Step 5
For the dressing, combine oil, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar, sesame oil, Sichuan pepper and chilli oil crisp together in a small bowl, whisking to combine. Pour over potato mixture, tossing gently until well coated. Serve salad with grilled meats.
