Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: First and foremost, preheat the oven. Cook the fries according to the package instructions until they’re golden and nice. (Tip: I like to sprinkle a little of the five-spice on the fries halfway through cooking just to boost the flavor)
Step 2: When the potatoes are about 5 minutes from being done, grab a wok or a large pan and heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, chili peppers, salt, pepper, and Chinese five spice. Stir fry everything for 2 to 3 minutes until the onions start to soften.
Step 3: Turn the heat down to medium, then add the garlic and green onions, stirring. You only need to cook it for about a minute – just enough for you to smell the garlic, you don’t want it to burn.
Step 4: And now for the fun part; put the hot fries straight into the pan with the spices and toss everything well for a minute so each piece gets coated with the spicy, salty mix. Then serve it right away while it’s hot.
