Ingredients
Scale
Potato Noodles
- 2 medium russet potatoes (about 420g)
- 1 ⅓ cup potato starch (about 200g)
- ½ cup water (adjust if needed)
- 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
Chili Oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp black vinegar
- ½ tbsp Chinese chili flakes
- ½ tsp chili powder (gochugaru)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp hot neutral oil (such as avocado, canola, vegetable, grapeseed, or peanut oil)
Instructions
- Prepare Potato Noodles: Peel and grate the russet potatoes finely. Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch and drain thoroughly. Combine the grated potatoes with potato starch in a mixing bowl, adding water little by little to form a dough that is firm yet pliable. Knead gently until smooth.
- Form the Noodles: Roll the dough into a thin sheet and cut into noodle-like strips of desired thickness. Dust lightly with potato starch to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop the potato noodles into boiling water and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they rise to the surface and become chewy. Remove noodles with a slotted spoon and drain well.
- Make the Chili Oil: Heat the neutral oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped green onion, frying gently until fragrant but not browned—about 1-2 minutes. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, black vinegar, Chinese chili flakes, and gochugaru chili powder.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the cooked potato noodles in a serving bowl. Pour the prepared chili oil mixture over the noodles and toss thoroughly to coat evenly with the spicy sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the noodles for garnish. Serve immediately as a spicy, flavorful main or side dish.
