Salt and pepper chips is a British Chinese dish consisting of chipped potatoes mixed with stir-fried onions and 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 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]
