Ingredient notes

For the potato noodles:

• Potato and potato starch – Although traditional potato noodles can be made by using only potato starch, we wanted to make the noodles as seen in the viral TikTok videos. The potato starch provides the bounce and chewiness, while the potato provides the flavor and also so that you won’t have to use a whole bag of potato starch. Potato starch is available at most Asian markets.
• Water – Additional moisture is needed to make the dough come together. We recommend using warm water to help keep the dough warm and more pliable.
• Salt – For seasoning the noodles.

For the chili oil sauce:

• Soy sauce – We used regular soy sauce for this recipe. If you’re using low sodium soy sauce, you may need to add an extra pinch of salt.
• Chinese black vinegar – Also known as Chinkiang vinegar or Zhenjiang vinegar. It’s dark in color, fragrant, tangy but milder than white vinegar. It’s also got a mild sweet and caramelized flavor.
• Gochugaru – Also known as Korean red pepper flakes, as seen and used in many korean recipes, such as napa cabbage kimchi, doenjang jjigae, and tteokbokki. You can use either the coarse or fine ground version. If you don’t have gochugaru, Chinese red pepper flakes/powder is good too.
• Sugar and salt – To round out the chili oil sauce.
• Garlic and green onion – These two are the aromatics that will make the spicy chili oil sauce super yummy!
• Oil – You need oil to make chili oil sauce! Any neutral oil will do. We usually use avocado, sunflower, grapeseed, or just canola oil.
• Cilantro – This is not for the chili oil, but pairs incredibly well with it. It adds a nice touch of freshness to the dish as well.
