It’s getting sweet again on the blog. We have taken up a speciality of Bohemian and Austrian cuisine and cooked vegan poppy seed noodles. These are a kind of noodles made from potato dough (vegan potato dumpling fingers), tossed in the pan with butter and poppy seeds and served with a dusting of icing sugar.
Just like other classics such as Kaiserschmarrn or Germknödel (Austrian yeast dumplings), poppy seed noodles are not only served as a dessert, but also as a sweet main course. The portion sizes therefore refer to large, filling portions.
Vegan Poppy Seed Noodles
Ingredients
Dough
- 600 g potatoes, starchy
- 150 g wheat flour
- 1 heaped tbsp starch, e.g. potato or corn starch
- 2 tbsp vegan butter, soft
- 1 pinch salt
Other
- 60 g poppy seeds
- 40 g vegan butter
- icing sugar
- 1 dash rum, optional
Preparation
- Simmer the potatoes in enough salted water in a pot for about 40 minutes until soft. Then drain, peel and mash or press through a potato ricer. Leave to cool slightly.
- Add the remaining ingredients for the dough to the potato mixture and knead until smooth. Roll the dough into small noodles with floured hands.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Lower the heat so that the water no longer boils. Carefully drop in the potato noodles and simmer for about 5-7 minutes until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
- Melt the vegan butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the poppy seeds (and optionally a dash of rum) and toss the noodles in it. Serve the poppy seed noodles with a good dusting of icing sugar.
Notes
Song of the recipe:
Ton Steine Scherben around frontman Rio Reiser are one of the best-known bands of the German left-wing movement of the 70s and 80s. A little fun fact: the Green politician Claudia Roth was the band’s manager at the time.
