Spicy Potato Noodles Recipe: Tips and Tricks Revealed

These spicy potato noodles are thick, chewy, and packed with flavor. They’re a fantastic choice if you’re craving something with a kick and a satisfying texture.

Ingredients you need:

  • Potatoes
  • Potato starch
  • Salt
  • Room temperature water
  • Broccoli (optional)

For the Sauce:

  • Chili flakes
  • Grated garlic
  • Soy sauce
  • Maple syrup
  • Rice vinegar
  • Hot sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

To make these potato noodles, you need only three ingredients. First, peel potatoes and cook them in water. Once they are soft, drain and mash. Do not add extra ingredients to mashed potatoes. Then, add potato starch to mashed potatoes. Use an equal amount of potato starch to that of mashed potatoes. For example, to 200 g of mashed potatoes, we add 200 g of potato starch. Add water (around 60-90 g) until you reach the right dough consistency. The perfect consistency is when you can knead and shape the dough. But a dough isn’t sticky. To reach this consistency, do not add all the water at once. Add some water, knead the dough, and test the consistency. Keep adding water until the dough is perfect. You can now begin to roll the noodles!

Next, form noodles with a diameter of about 7 mm. Bring water to a boil, add some salt, and add potato noodles. The cooking time is very short. Cook the noodles in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. As soon as noodles float on the surface, they are ready. Remove them. Put noodles in a hot sauce and mix. Add vegetables if you like. We chose steamed broccoli. We love the combination of crunchy broccoli, spicy sauce, and soft, chewy noodles. You can skip the vegetables or choose any other vegetables you like. Green beans, mushrooms, or cauliflower go perfectly with these spicy potato noodles.

Optionally, add sesame seeds to enhance the oily and crunchy taste. Check the exact measurements in the ingredient list of this recipe.
