Ingredients:
- 1 large russet Idaho® potato

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon fermented bean paste (doubanjiang)

- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
Topping options:

Directions:
- Use a spiralizer to slice potato into potato noodles.
- Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt and stir to mix well. Add the potato noodles. Cook until it just starts to soften or turns to the texture you prefer, 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overcook, otherwise the potatoes will fall apart. Immediately drain noodles and run tap water over them to cool.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a medium-sized pot until hot. Add ground chicken. Cook and stir until the chicken is browned.
- Turn to medium low heat. Add the green onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for a minute to release the fragrance.
- Add sesame seeds, bean paste, and miso paste. Stir and cook until the paste is lightly toasted.
- Add chicken stock, Japanese sake, sugar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Turn to medium high heat. Cook until bringing to a boil.
- Remove the broth from the stove and drizzle with sesame oil.
- Add potato noodles into a big bowl and pour the soup over them. Garnish with preferred toppings and serve immediately as a main.
