These hand-rolled sweet potato noodles bring both texture and flavor to the table. Made from just a few humble ingredients - sweet potatoes, potato starch, and salt. They transform into bouncy, play-dough-like strips perfect for stir-frying or sauce-coating.

The secret lies in the balance: soft sweet potato, the right amount of starch, and just enough water to keep it pliable.

Tossed with a fiery, tangy sauce made from black vinegar, hot oil, garlic, and Siu Siu chili crunch, it’s a dish that’s earthy, bold, and deeply satisfying.

Directions

Boil the sweet potatoes until they’re soft enough to mash easily.
Season with a pinch of salt.
Add potato starch and mix well to form a dough.
If the dough feels too dry, add a bit of sweet potato water.
The dough should be smooth, slightly sticky, and pliable—like playdough.
Roll into long strips using your palms (not fingers) to avoid dents.
In a bowl, combine onion, garlic, and scallions.
Pour hot oil over the aromatics.
Add black vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and chili crunch. Mix well.
Bring water to a boil and drop in the noodles gently.
Boil on medium-high until they float (2–3 minutes).
Strain and set aside.
In a pan, heat oil and stir-fry the noodles with the sauce.
Add some sweet potato water to help emulsify and coat the noodles evenly.
Top with scallions and serve immediately.
