Stir Fried Sweet Potato Starch Noodle

Made with 100% sweet potato starch, it is a Korean style noodle, usually used in making a Korean dish called Japchae. I like the texture of this noodle and have been buying it to stir-fry. I still season it with the Korean flavor because I think it is most suitable for this type of noodle. Why change the tradition right? But I did use the ingredients I have in the house for this. I just soaked the noodle with warm water until soften, drained and finished it in the wok with other stir-fried ingredients. I didn't pre-cook the noodle first.

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast, thinly sliced and seasoned with soy sauce, rice wine and sesame oil.
1/4 head of cabbage, thinly sliced
1 carrot, julienned
5-6 Chinese dried mushrooms, soften in hot water, drained and thinly sliced
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp. of toasted sesame seeds

Seasoning to taste: soy sauce, salt, sugar, sesame oil.

1 packet of sweet potato starch noodle (can see picture through the above JapChae link)

Method:

1. Soak sweet potato starch noodle in warm water until soften, drain and set aside.

2. Heat a wok with some cooking oil. Stir fry garlic until fragrant, add in chicken breast, stir fry until cooked. Scoop the chicken to the side of wok, add a little oil if need to. Add in mushrooms and stir-fry well. Add in carrot and cabbage, mix all together and stir fry well.

3. Add in noodle and mix well. Add in seasoning and season to taste. Pour in a big serving plate or bowl. Lastly add in toasted sesame seeds and mix well. Serve warm or cold.
