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.
