Potato starch noodle recipe: https://www.chinasichuanfood.com/handmade-potato-noodles/
For my chili crisp:
- 1/2c vegetable oil
- 1tbsp soy sauce
- 1tbsp black vinegar
- 1/2tbsp brown sugar
- 1tbsp sichuan peppercorns, ground
- 1tsp ground cumin
- 1tsp chicken bouillon (or just use salt and some msg)
- 1tbsp sesame seeds
- 1tbsp ginger, minced
- 2tbsp gochugaru
- 4 chile de arbol, coursely ground (adjust up or down based on how spicy you like it)
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- Note: chopped peanuts are a great addition to this - I am allergic, so I leave them out, but you should consider adding them
Mix together gochugaru, ginger, brown sugar, and spices in a heat proof container. Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, cook and stir often until you start to see some color, then strain them out and put them on a paper towel to drain. Add onions to oil and repeat process. Heat oil to 375F or until smoking, then pour into the rest of the ingredients and stir. Add the onion and garlic to it when the mixture has cooled off a bit.
For the main dish:
- 2tbsp oil drained off of the chili crisp
- 1tbsp soy sauce
- 1tbsp black vinegar
- 1/2tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 to 1/2lb protein of choice
- Boiled potato starch noodles
- veggies and chili crisp to garnish
Heat oil over medium high heat. Add your protein and cooked to desired doneness. Add the soy sauce and vinegar and cook til it reduces. Add the noodles and just toss to coat.
We had this with some veggies we had on hand (cucumber and radish) and garnished with cilantro and chili crisp.
I’m a simple man, I see black vinegar and gochugaru, I get the mouthwet.
