Equipment
- Wok or large sauté pan
Ingredients
- 1 large russet potato peeled sliced into 1/4 inch rounds fried until golden and crispy
- 4 small dried red chilies
- 4 large garlic cloves sliced
- 2 tsp finely chopped ginger
- 1/8 large red cabbage cut or torn into extra large chunks
- 1/8 large white cabbage cut or torn into extra large chunks
- 1 large carrot sliced
- 10-15 snow peas
- 1/8 large green pepper cut into large bite size squares
- 1/8 large red pepper cut into large bite size squares
- 1/8 large yellow pepper cut into large bite size squares
- 1/8 large orange pepper cut into large bite size squares
- 2-3 green onions chopped separate the tops and the whites

- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Mise en place guys, get everything you need together and in one place and in order of use. It takes longer to prep this recipe than it does to cook it.
- Make sure your wok is hot, not smoking…but almost. Keep everything moving when cooking at such a high temperature, this will prevent your food from burning and cooking unevenly.
- On medium high heat (more high) add cooking oil to your wok. When the oil is "hot" sauté red chili peppers and carrots for 2 minutes. Keep everything moving while cooking.
- Add yellow onions and whites of green onions and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper stir once or twice. Add ginger and garlic and continue to sauté for 60 seconds.
- Add cabbage and a pinch of salt and continue to sauté for 90 seconds moving everything around in the wok. The pinch of salt will help to tenderize the cabbage. Add all the bell peppers (capsicums) and cook for another minute or so.
- Add cooked potatoes, snow peas, sherry and stir fry sauce. Toss until all vegetables are coated with the stir fry sauce.
- Remove from heat, add green onion tops, drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds, toss everything and serve.
