Step 3: Shape the Gnocchi
Divide the dough into 4 portions. On a potato starch-dusted surface, roll each portion into a 2 cm thick rope. Cut the ropes into 2.5 cm long pieces to form the gnocchi shapes.

Step 4: Boil the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a colander. Drizzle with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5: Prepare the Chilli Garlic Oil
In a bowl, mix together the minced garlic, sliced green onion, gochugaru, red chilli flakes, sugar, soy sauce, and black vinegar. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan until quite hot. Pour the hot oil over the spicy garlic mixture. It should sizzle, and the spices should bloom in the oil.
