Equipment

Large Pot
Spider Strainer or slotted spoon
Bottle

Ingredients

1 large Russet Potato
3/4 cup Potato Starch or cornstarch
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
2 teaspoons Rice Wine Vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 Garlic Clove minced
1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
3 tablespoons Oil such as avocado or vegetable oil

Instructions

Make mashed potatoes. To begin, wash, peel, and dice the potatoes before placing them in a saucepan filled with water for boiling. Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender. Drain and mash the potatoes using a potato masher or potato ricer.
Prepare the dumplings. Incorporate the potato starch with the mashed potatoes by mixing them together. Depending on the consistency, you may need to add a splash of water to achieve a smooth dough. Aim for a dough that is not excessively sticky to avoid cracking when shaping the dumplings. To test the readiness, insert a finger into the dough ball and ensure it comes out clean.
Shape the dumplings. Use your hands to skillfully shape the dough into small, uniform balls. Press the rim of a bottle into the ball to form a button mushroom shape.
Boil. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and allow them to boil until they float to the top of the water. Remove the dumplings and place them into a large bowl.
Make the sauce. In a small bowl mix the sesame oil, chili flakes, rice wine vinegar, and minced garlic together. Pour it over the dumplings and gently toss to coat.
Pour hot oil on top. Heat the remaining oil until very hot and pour over the dumplings. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.

Notes

To shape the dumplings: When shaping the dumplings into mushroom or button shapes, a handy trick is to utilize a glass bottle with a thick rim. This clever technique offers enough room to accommodate the sauce while effectively preventing the dough from sticking.

Add water to the dough to prevent cracking. To ensure the dough for your dumplings is just right, add a small amount of water while forming it. The goal is to achieve a dough that is not overly sticky, as this helps prevent cracking when shaping the dumplings.
