A delightful dish filled with flavor and spice, featuring chewy potato noodles infused with garlic and gochugaru.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.1 pounds russet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups 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 garlic (minced)
  • 1 stalk green onion (sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons oil (any neutral oil like avocado, sunflower, or grapeseed)
  • ⅓ cup cilantro (roughly chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Boil the Potatoes: Place the potato pieces in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender but not mushy, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Mash the Potatoes: Transfer to a mixing bowl and mash until smooth.
  4. Make the Dough: Slowly add potato starch and warm water to the mashed potatoes and combine until a dough forms.
  5. Shape the Noodles: Roll the dough into thin logs and cut into 1-inch long noodles.
  6. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, black vinegar, gochugaru, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
  7. Cook the Noodles: Heat oil in a skillet and fry the noodles for about 3-5 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.
  8. Add Garlic and Green Onions: Toss in minced garlic and sliced green onions and stir-fry for another minute.
  9. Combine with Sauce: Pour the sauce over noodles and stir well to coat, letting it thicken slightly.
  10. Final Touch: Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
