Ingredients
Potato Noodles
- 14 oz (400 g) potato noodles
Sauce
- 2 tbsp chili oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Garnishes
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (to taste)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the potato noodles according to the package directions, typically about 5-7 minutes until tender but chewy. Drain and rinse briefly with warm water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together chili oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is well combined, creating a bold, spicy, and savory mixture.
- Toss Noodles with Sauce: Add the drained noodles to the bowl with the sauce. Toss thoroughly until the noodles are evenly coated with the flavorful garlic chili sauce, ensuring every strand is infused with the heat and umami.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the noodles with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and freshly chopped cilantro for freshness and texture. Serve the spicy potato noodles immediately to enjoy their chewy texture and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Add cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu to the noodles for extra protein and a more filling meal.
- Adjust the amount of chili oil to suit your preferred spice level, adding more for extra heat or less for a milder dish.
- For added crunch, garnish with crushed peanuts before serving.
