Description
Spicy Potato Noodles is a unique dish that combines chewy homemade potato noodles with a spicy and savory chili oil sauce, offering a perfect balance of heat, rich flavors, and texture.
Ingredients
2 medium yellow potatoes (500g, 1.1 lb)
2 cups potato starch (400g)
½ cup water, room temperature (120ml)
3 cloves garlic
1 stalk green onion
1 tbsp Korean chili powder (Gochugaru)
2 tsp crushed red pepper
½ tsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Chinese black vinegar
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp roasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Peel, chop, and boil the potatoes in a pot of water until they are tender. Once boiled, transfer them to a bowl and mash them finely.
- Add the potato starch and water to the mashed potatoes. Mix and knead until a firm, smooth dough ball forms.
- Roll the dough into a long log and then divide the log into 16 pieces.
- Roll each dough piece into strips about the length of chopsticks.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the potato noodles to the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Once the noodles are cooked, transfer them to cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain them and transfer to a bowl.
- To prepare the chili oil sauce, finely chop the garlic and green onion. In a separate bowl, combine the garlic, green onion, Korean chili powder, crushed red pepper, granulated sugar, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and black vinegar.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan until hot. Pour the hot oil over the noodle mixture and sauce toppings.
- Toss everything together until well mixed.
- Garnish with roasted sesame seeds and serve immediately. Enjoy your spicy, flavorful potato noodles!
