Main Ingredients- 3 potatoes (about the size of an adult woman’s fist)
- 1 medium onion
- 1/3 carrot
Seasoning- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the main ingredient: the potatoes. Peel 3 fresh potatoes, ensuring they are about the size of an adult woman’s fist. Also, peel 1 medium onion and cut it to a similar size as the potatoes. Prepare 1/3 of a carrot for julienning.
Step 2
Once peeled, julienne the potatoes thinly. Aim for uniform thickness so they cook evenly. After julienning, rinse the potato strips under cold running water 2-3 times to remove excess starch. This step is crucial to prevent them from sticking together when stir-fried and results in a cleaner texture. Drain them thoroughly in a colander.
Step 3
Julienne the onion and carrot thinly, matching the thickness of the potato strips. Having all vegetables similarly cut will ensure they cook at the same rate and create a visually appealing dish.
Step 4
Now, let’s start stir-frying! Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the drained julienned potatoes and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until they begin to look slightly translucent. Be careful not to overcook at this stage, as the potatoes can become mushy.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are partially cooked, add the julienned onion and carrot to the pan. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt evenly over the vegetables. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent and all vegetables are tender-crisp. You can adjust the salt according to your preference; it’s best to start with less and add more if needed.
Step 6
When the vegetables are cooked to your liking, turn off the heat. Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. Cover the pan and let it steam for 1-2 minutes. This allows the nutty aroma of the sesame oil to infuse the vegetables. Gently toss everything together. Your delicious stir-fried potato noodles, with a satisfying crispness and tender bite, are now ready! Enjoy them with a warm bowl of rice.
