I neeeeeded this so bad after 10 days in Europe 🥲 I love me some bread & pasta, but nothing has my heart like Asian food does 🥰💕 so I desperately needed to make my go-to chili crisp & spicy noodle dish after my trip - get the recipe below! 🌶️🥒🫚🧄🥔
FOR THE CHILI CRISP:
-Assemble all ingredients except for the avocado oil in a heat-safe bowl.
-Heat avocado oil in a pan over medium-high heat, until it reaches 350 degrees F. Carefully pour the hot oil over the ingredients; it should sizzle.
-Stir chili crisp ingredients together. Add in soy sauce and black vinegar and mix that in. Set aside.
FOR THE NOODLES:
-Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add in the peeled & chopped potatoes and cook for about 15 mins, or until fork tender. Drain and set into a large mixing bowl.
-While the potatoes are still hot, mash them with a fork and then add in the salt and potato starch. Mix and knead into a soft, slightly tacky dough.
-Roll into small, nickel-sized balls and poke a tiny hole in the balls.
-Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add in the potato balls and cook. Once they float to the top, cook 1 more minute, then drain and set into a bowl of ice water.
-In a pot or pan over medium heat, add in the cooked noodles and a hearty amount of the chili crisp. Toss to evenly coat the noodles. Serve and enjoy!
