Description

Spicy Potato Noodles are chewy, spicy, and bursting with garlic and chili flavor. Made with yellow potatoes and tossed in sizzling chili oil, this recipe is bold, satisfying, and easier than you’d expect. Great for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend cooking project!


Ingredients

Scale

2 medium yellow potatoes (500 g / 1.1 lb)

2 cups potato starch (400 g)

½ cup room temperature water (120 ml)

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 stalk green onion, sliced

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 (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Peel the yellow potatoes, chop them into chunks, and boil until tender (a fork easily pierces).
  2. Drain and transfer the hot potatoes to a bowl, then mash finely so there are no large chunks.
  3. Immediately add the potato starch and water, and mix / knead until you have a firm, smooth dough ball. It helps when the potatoes are still warm.
  4. Roll the dough into a long log shape, then cut into 16 pieces (or adjust number depending on how thick you want the noodles to be).
  5. Take each piece and roll it into a chopstick-length strip (or your preferred noodle length).
  6. Bring a pot of water to boil. Carefully drop the potato noodles in and cook for around 5 minutes or until fully cooked (they may float).
  7. Transfer the cooked noodles into cold water, drain them, then place into a serving bowl.
  8. Prepare the chili oil sauce: combine garlic, green onion, chilli powder, crushed red pepper, sugar, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, black vinegar in a heat-proof bowl. Heat the vegetable oil until shimmering and carefully pour the hot oil over the sauce mixture — it will sizzle and release aroma.
  9. Pour the sauce over the drained noodles and toss gently so everything is coated.
  10. Garnish with roasted sesame seeds and serve immediately while warm.

Note: If your dough is cracking or brittle, it may be too dry — add a few drops of water. If too wet/sticky, add a bit more starch.


Notes

Divide dough into fewer or more pieces depending on your preferred noodle thickness. Keep dough covered to prevent drying. Noodles are best served fresh for maximum chewiness.
