Salt and pepper chips is a British Chinese dish consisting of chipped potatoes mixed with stir-fried onions, chilli peppers and bell peppers.
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]
The dish is prepared by stir frying sliced onions, bell peppers and bird's eye 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. [5] [6]
