Spicy Potato Noodles

Ingredients

• 500 g potatoes (boiled and mashed; the amount of potato starch needed may vary depending on the moisture content)
• 50 ml water
• salt (a generous pinch)
• 350 g potato starch (the amount is approximate and may vary depending on the moisture content of the potatoes)
• 1 tbsp dried chili flakes
• 2 garlic (cloves)
• ginger (a generous piece, grated or minced)
• 50 ml oil (boiling hot)
• 1 tbsp gochujang
• soy sauce (added to the sauce according to the transcript; quantity not specified)
• sesame seeds (as needed; some for the sauce and some for garnish)
• green onion (green part, for garnish according to the transcript)

Steps

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes until tender; the transcript confirms that they were boiled previously, but does not specify the time or method.

2. 2

   Mash the boiled potatoes with a fork or potato masher.

3. 3

   Add the salt, water, and potato starch. Mix and knead until you achieve a consistency similar to gnocchi dough; adjust the potato starch according to the moisture content of the potatoes.

4. 4

   Shape the dough into a log and divide it into large pieces.

5. 5

   Roll each piece into small, long logs without making them too thin.

6. 6

   Cook the noodles in boiling water for approximately 4–5 minutes.

7. 7

   For the sauce, place the dried chili flakes, garlic, and ginger in a heatproof bowl.

8. 8

   Heat the oil until boiling hot, then pour it over the ingredients in the bowl.

9. 9

   Stir and allow the oil to stop sizzling.

10. 10

    Add the gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Stir to combine the sauce.

11. 11

    Transfer the cooked noodles to a bowl and pour the sauce over them.

12. 12

    Toss to coat the noodles evenly.

13. 13

    Serve in bowls, garnished with sesame seeds and the green part of the green onion.

Notes

The sauce is very spicy; to make it milder, reduce the chili and gochujang. The recipe does not specify the quantities of ginger, soy sauce, sesame seeds, or green onion. It does not provide a precise method for boiling the potatoes or timings for preparing the sauce.
