Easy Potato Noodles
Craving noodles but looking for a fun twist? These potato noodles are a delicious and simple alternative made with just a few ingredients. They have a wonderful chewy texture and can be dressed up with your favorite sauce for a satisfying and unique meal.
Ingredients:
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup potato starch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Neutral oil, for cooking (optional)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Cooking Guide:
-
Boil the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes and place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot.
-
Mash and Mix: Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the potato starch and salt, and mix well with a spoon until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more potato starch, one tablespoon at a time, until it becomes manageable.
-
Shape the Noodles: Lightly dust a work surface with potato starch. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the ropes into noodle-shaped pieces, about 2-3 inches long.
-
Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. If desired, add a drizzle of neutral oil to prevent sticking. Gently drop the potato noodles into the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Drain the noodles and rinse them briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Toss the cooked potato noodles with your favorite sauce or dressing. You can also pan-fry them lightly in oil for a crispier texture. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water to boil the potatoes.
- Leftover potato noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a pan with a little oil or broth before serving.
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors! You can add chopped herbs like chives or scallions to the dough, or drizzle the cooked noodles with a spicy chili oil sauce.
