Handmade Potato Noodles

July 6, 2020 15 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Easy handmade potato starch noodles, can be used for hot pot, soups, stir-fries and salad. I have made rice stick rice noodle with a noodle presser weeks ago. I get feedback saying that no noodle presser at home. Then I love to introduce an easy handmade version. This noodle is super chewy and performance really better for salad, stews, soups and hot pot. You will love this texture as long as you tried once. If you can’t find potato starch, follow this step and use potato instead of sweet potato starch to make homemade potato starch.

Starch noodles have lots of versions including mung bean noodles, sweet potato starch noodles and potato starch noodles (土豆粉条). They have very different texture, much chewier than regular wheat noodles. I have made a rice noodle weeks ago using a noodle presser and this is a totally handmade version. You can also make a thin and round rice noodle version by using a noodle presser.

Cook’s Note

  1. Adding oil can help to keep the dough moist and make the dough process much easier. There will be no oily taste in the final dough.
  2. Because of the gelatinization, the starch dough can be extremely sticky after adding hot water, plastic wrapper and a rubber can be good helpers.
  3. Kneading the dough for a long time gives the final noodle a smooth surface and avoids any breaks caused by bumps. So I recommend 8 minutes kneading.

Instructions

Add vegetable cooking oil in potato starch and then stir in hot boiling water. Wait for a while and then grasp al crumbs together to form a ball. Then continue kneading for 8-10 minutes. The dough can be extremely stretchable, smooth and without any small bumps. More kneading makes the dough better.

Dust the operating board with starch and then flat the dough and roll out to a rectangle. Cut into 1 cm thick strips and then shape into longer ones.

Bring a large pot of hot water to a boiling and then prepare a bowl of cold water at side. Add the starch noodles in. Cook until floating, then transfer to cold water.

Prepare another small pan, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and fry garlic and scallions until aromatic. Place light soy sauce, cumin powder, chili oil, salt, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and sesame seeds in. Add the potato noodles, and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the noodles are properly softened.

Finally mix in sesame seeds, green onion and corianders.

    Hi.

    Can you store these noodles (feks. dry them) or do you have to make them just before using them?

    Thank you:)

      Jette,
      Yes, you can store the noodles. Blanching the noodles and then soak in cold water. Then drain completely. Place in air-tight container and keep up for 3 days. I never tried freezing them.

    Are these good for stir frying or noodle soup? My kid is allergic to Gehrig and this could be a great alternative.

      No, just cook it for a longer time for a softer texture.

    I tried these and ended up with oobleck! (the solid/liquid thing that solidifies when you touch it!) I have no idea what I did wrong but I ended up with nothing close to a dough :(. I want to try again soon but would love some tips!

      Julz,
      Make sure your water amount is correct!! And make sure the water is boiling just before mixing into the flour.
