Ingredients for Potato Noodles:
Noodle Dough:
- 1 cup of potato starch (You can make it at home using potatoes)
- ½ cup of hot boiling water
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable cooking oil
Sauce:
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 2 leek scallions, white part and green part separated
- 1-2 tablespoons of Chinese chili oil
- 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cumin powder
- A pinch of salt to taste
- 2 coriander sprigs, finely chopped
Step by Step Instructions:
For the Noodle Dough:
- Start by adding vegetable cooking oil to the potato starch. Stir in the hot boiling water.
- Allow it to sit for a moment, then gather all the crumbs together to form a ball.
- Continue kneading the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes extremely stretchable, smooth, and without any small bumps. More kneading will result in better dough.
- Dust your work surface with starch, then flatten the dough and roll it out into a rectangle.
- Cut the dough into 1 cm thick strips and shape them into longer pieces.
For Cooking the Noodles:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of cold water on the side.
- Add the potato starch noodles to the boiling water. Cook until they float, then transfer them to the cold water.
- Put 1 ton of cooking oil in a separate pan, add garlic and a white piece of scallions until it’s aromatic.
- Add these ingredients in a bowl: soy sauce, cumin powder, chili oil, salt, sugar, corn syrup, vinegar, and seviche seeds.
- You can add the cooked noodles, stirring for three to five minutes until you get your desired softness.
- Add a green onion and chopped coriander at last.
