Recipe for Spicy Potato Noodles
These potato noodles are chewy, thick, spicy, and savoury. This is basically a 2-ingredient potato noodle recipe that you can easily make at home with my Korean spicy sauce or any sauce of your choice. The noodles are thick and chewy in texture and can be long or short, depending on your preference.
My spicy sauce is similar to the Spicy Korean rice cake sauce in my Tteokbokki recipe which I make very often. If you’ve ever wanted to try Tteokbokki but had a hard time finding Korean rice cakes, I highly encourage trying this recipe instead.

How To Make Potato Noodles (Spicy)
1. To prepare your spicy potato noodles, start by peeling your yellow potatoes, chopping them into small chunks & boiling a large pot of water. Boil your yellow potato chunks for about 15-20 minutes or until completely tender.
2. Then, drain and transfer potatoes into a large bowl and mash finely. Add potato starch and water and mix and knead until a smooth dough is formed and the mixture doesn’t break apart.
3. Next, boil another pot of water (big enough to fit all the potato noodles). Roll the dough into a long log and divide it into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into chopstick-length strips. They may break apart, but that’s okay. Boil the potato noodles for about 5 minutes or until the noodles are cooked and float to the top.
4. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl of cold water. Once the noodles are cooked, drain and transfer the noodles into the bowl of cold water.
5. Prepare your spicy sauce! You can use store-bought sauce or make my Spicy Korean sauce by mixing together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth: gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, maple syrup or agave, garlic powder and sesame seeds.
6. Now, add the cooked noodles to a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat, along with the spicy sauce. Add a splash of water, if needed. Stir for a couple of minutes to allow the spicy sauce to soak into the noodles! In terms of toppings, I recommend topping with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

My family and I really enjoyed this meal. Definitely will be making it again. I probably overcooked my noodles a bit will decrease noodle cook time next time. We had asparagus on the side. Thanks for a great recipe!
This is the second recipe of yours that I’ve made and, like the other one, it was a winner! I only had gochujang so I used that.
Once we started eating everyone became a fan of it. Thank you so much! This will be a regular.
Awesome recipe! I made these last night and they turned out great. I got a little frustrated rolling the noodles, I think maybe I didn’t use enough potato (they *were* the right type though) or maybe I didn’t mix the dough well enough because some of the noodles wanted to break/crumble, while some of them rolled out fine. Still, it was worth the effort in the end as mom and I really enjoyed these spicy chewy potato noodles! Very different and fun! I fried up some firm tofu in sesame oil in a big nonstick pan, then threw in the noodles and sauce. I will definitely be making this again! Thank you for the awesome recipe!
This was so good! I saw this on social media and when I google it, your recipe came up. Loved that it was faster than other recipes & the kids had fun making them from potatoes! We would definitely make it again
