Description

A flavor-packed adventure of hearty russet potatoes transformed into spicy, chewy noodles that will impress your friends and family.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.1 pounds russet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cup potato starch
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons regular soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons gochugaru (coarse or fine ground)
  • 1¼ teaspoons granulated sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 stalk green onion (sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado, sunflower, grapeseed, etc.)
  • ⅓ cup cilantro (roughly chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by peeling and cutting your russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add ½ teaspoon of salt, and toss in the potato pieces. Boil until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  2. Create Your Potato “Noodles”: Once cooked, drain and cool the potatoes. In a bowl, combine potato starch and warm water to make a smooth slurry. Gently toss the boiled potatoes in the slurry.
  3. Shape the Noodles: Shape the starch-coated potato mix into thin, noodle-like pieces and place on a floured surface.
  4. Whip Up the Spicy Sauce: In another bowl, combine soy sauce, black vinegar, gochugaru, sugar, and ⅛ teaspoon salt, whisking until blended.
  5. Heat Things Up: In a skillet, heat neutral oil over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Stir-fry the Noodles: Add potato noodles to the skillet and fry for a minute or two. Pour in the spicy sauce and stir until well-coated and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Serve it Up: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Serve piping hot!

Notes

Adjust the gochugaru based on your heat tolerance. Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers for additional texture.
