how to make Spicy Potato Noodles

Ingredients:

1. 1.1 pounds russet potato (peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces (gold potato is fine too))
2. ½ teaspoon salt
3. 1½ cup potato starch
4. ½ cup water (warm)
5. 2 tablespoons regular soy sauce
6. 2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
7. 2 tablespoons gochugaru (coarse) (or fine ground (or Chinese chili powder))
8. 1¼ teaspoons granulated sugar
9. ⅛ teaspoon salt
10. 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
11. 1 stalk green onion (sliced)
12. 3 tablespoons oil (any neutral oil such as avocado, sunflower, grapeseed, etc)
13. ⅓ cup cilantro (roughly chopped)

Directions:

1. 
   

   Cook the potato: Place the cut potatoes into a pot of boiling water and cook until fork tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.

   
   
2. 
   

   Make the dough: Once the potato is cooked, drain well and place into a heatproof mixing bowl. Add the salt and mash the potato with a fork until no more chunks are visible. While the mashed potato is hot, add the potato starch and mix until well combined. If the dough is not too hot for you, start kneading the dough until cohesive. This step will help keep the dough pliable. The heat from the potato helps the starch stick together, making it stretchier. The warm dough is easier to shape.

   
   
3. 
   

   Add the water and mix the dough until the water is absorbed and an almost smooth dough forms. The dough won’t be stretchy like bread dough, but it will be pliable enough for shaping.

   
   
4. 
   

   Make the potato noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare a large bowl of cold water. Divide the dough into 14 equal pieces, keeping the dough covered with a damp towel when not using. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll each piece into ½ inch thick noodles.

   
   
5. 
   

   Gently place the potato noodles into the boiling water, ensuring the noodles are fully submerged to prevent breaking. Stir gently after adding.

   
   
6. 
   

   Allow the noodles to cool until they float to the top, then cook for an additional minute. Remove the noodles and place them into the bowl of cold water. Repeat with the remaining potato noodles.

   
   
7. 
   

   Make the chili oil: In a heatproof bowl, add all of the ingredients for the chili oil EXCEPT the oil and cilantro. Heat the oil in a small pan until it starts to smoke and carefully pour the hot oil over the other ingredients in the bowl. Once the oil settles, give the chili oil a stir.

   
   
8. 
   

   Assembly: Drain the potato noodles well and place them into a large clean bowl. Add the prepared chili oil and chopped cilantro, mixing until the noodles are well coated. Enjoy while warm!
