Why you’ll love this recipe
- You likely already have all the ingredients at home, making this a quick, low-effort recipe that delivers bold flavor without requiring a special grocery trip.
- It’s another creative way to enjoy potatoes, transforming them into chewy, crispy noodles that feel completely different from traditional potato dishes.
- The crispy edges combined with chili oil create a visually satisfying and incredibly addictive dish that’s just as fun to eat as it is to watch cook.
Key Ingredients
- Chinese chili powder: Unlike regular red pepper powder, Chinese chili powder is more aromatic and layered; without it, the dish loses depth, but paprika and chili flakes can substitute.
- Russet potatoes: High in starch, russet potatoes create the perfect chewy texture; using waxy potatoes can result in a softer, less structured bite that doesn’t hold shape as well.
✅Quick Tips: Make sure the dough is smooth and not too sticky. If it sticks to your hands, add a little more starch to help the bites hold their shape better.
Key Steps
#1: Mash potatoes until completely smooth, then mix with potato starch to form a soft, pliable dough without lumps.
#2: Roll and shape into long shaped dough
# 3: Cook them when water boils
