Description

There’s something incredibly comforting about a dish that sizzles in the pan and fills your kitchen with the warm aroma of garlic and soy. Pan-Fried Potato Noodles with Soy Garlic Sauce is exactly that kind of dish, simple, hearty, and full of rich flavor.

Ingredients

  • 200g sweet potato starch noodles (also called Korean glass noodles or dangmyeon)
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., avocado or sunflower)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 scallions, finely sliced
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • ½ bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Optional: ½ zucchini or handful of spinach for extra veggies
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium is best)
  • 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce (for color and depth)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (to thicken)
  • Optional topping: toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts

Instructions

  1. Soak the sweet potato noodles in warm water for 20–30 minutes until soft. Drain, then boil them for about 6–7 minutes until tender but chewy. Rinse with cold water and toss with a drizzle of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients. Stir well until sugar and cornstarch dissolve.
  3. In a large nonstick or cast iron skillet, heat oil. Add garlic and scallions and sauté for 30 seconds. Add carrots, bell pepper, and other veggies. Stir-fry until just tender.
  4. Push veggies to the side of the pan. Add a touch more oil and toss in the noodles. Let them sit for 1–2 minutes to crisp, then stir everything together.
  5. Pour the sauce over the noodles. Stir and toss for 2–3 minutes until coated and glossy. Sauce should thicken and cling to noodles.
  6. Serve hot, sprinkled with sesame seeds or chopped nuts. Pair with a light salad or miso soup.

Notes

Don’t overcook the noodles, keep them chewy. Use a nonstick or cast iron pan for best results. Let the noodles sit undisturbed to crisp. Add protein like tofu, chicken, or shrimp for variety. Double the sauce for extra flavor or dipping.
