Tigerfish – Very nice! I just was introduced to it as well. I can’t believe I hadn’t known it existed until this year!

Xiaolu – I love the vinegar too, even more so than the spicyness.

Chey – I’ve been substituting all sorts of vinegars. Use any vinegar you’d like, white vinegar, black vinegar, whatever you can get your hands on. Then, adjust the amount of vinegar to your taste. The difference you’re asking about is black vinegar is more pungent, sweet and fragrant than white vinegar. Like a full bodied red wine versus a light white wine. That’s the best example I can use.

I am eager to try this! How is black vinegar different from others? You know Macedon – not exactly a hotbed of Asian cuisine! I don’t know if I’ll be able to find it, may need to substitute…what?

My mom used to make a similar dish when I was young. I love the tang of vinegar with potatoes. Yummy!

Hummingbird – It does! Somehow I feel healthier eating potato strings instead of pasta. Hey it’s a vegetable… :P

Peppercorn – Thank you very much! :)

Nora – How was your vacation? I flew back home to NY for Christmas, there’s too much snow here and it’s freezing. But it gives me more reason to bake more cookies :)
