Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the potato noodles according to the package directions, usually about 5-7 minutes. Once done, drain and rinse briefly with warm water to remove excess starch and prevent sticking.

- Add Garnishes: Sprinkle sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and chopped fresh cilantro over the noodles to add texture and a fresh herbal lift.
- Serve: Serve the spicy potato noodles immediately for the best flavor and texture, enjoying the chewy noodles balanced with spicy, savory sauce and fresh garnishes.
Notes
- Add cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu for extra protein to make the dish more filling.
- Adjust the amount of chili oil to suit your preferred spice level, adding more for extra heat.
