Instructions

Prepare the Potato Noodles: Use a spiralizer or a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into thin strips resembling noodles. Boil the potato strips in a pot of water for 4-5 minutes, until tender but not too soft. Drain and set aside.
Make the Sauce: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Combine Sauce Ingredients: Stir in soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, honey (or sugar), and red chili flakes. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes.
Toss Noodles: Add the cooked potato noodles to the pan and toss in the sauce to coat well. Drizzle with sesame oil and toss again for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro, sesame seeds, and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

You can substitute regular pasta for potato noodles if desired.
Adjust the level of spice by adding more sriracha or fresh chilies.
To make the dish gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
If you’re looking to add protein, consider grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp.
