Salt and pepper chips is a British Chinese dish consisting of chipped potatoes mixed with stir-fried onions and peppers.
History
The dish was invented by Chinese immigrant-owned fish and chip shops in Liverpool,[1] and is a fusion of Chinese and British cuisine. It began to be served during the 1960s.[2] It is primarily eaten in Northern England and Scotland,[3] where it has become a fixture of Chinese takeaway restaurants.[4] Its popularity is particularly high in Liverpool.[5]
Description
The dish is prepared by stir frying sliced onions, bell peppers and chilli peppers together with Sichuan pepper and black peppercorn. The mixture is seasoned with salt, garlic, five-spice powder and sugar. The chips are then tossed with the mixture and served.[6]
