Korean Japchae (Stir Fried Korean Glass Noodle with Mix Veges 韩国冬粉炒杂菜

A Hearty Healthy 1 dish meal












Korean Glass Noodles available in local major hypermarket

Korean Japchae (Stir fried Korean Glass Noodles with vegetables) is a dish served during traditional Koreean festivities.. The fibrous textures of the glass noodles with the crispy vegetables are a pleasing combination that will entice you. When Japchae is served with Bulgogi (Marinated/Barbecued Beef) it makes for a hearty meal. The colors of the dish are very pleasant to the eyes.


Would like to take this opportunity to thank you Korea Tourism Organization, Kuala Lumpur for conducting cooking demo for us to get to understanding and know more about Korean cuisine. Thank you!

They do not hand out any recipes on the dishes of the days. Their main purpose is to introduce Korean cuisine to Malaysia. So I am preparing this dish from the tips and methods introduced to the participants verbally. Armed with this tips my end products turned out to be superb! The plate of Japchae was empty in no time!

1/2 packets Korean glass Noodles (forgot to check the weight of 1 packet) ^_^

1 big onion - sliced
1 bundle of  Spinach or Poh Choy 菠菜  ( cut, wash boil and squeeze out the water, set aside)

2 eggs ( beaten with some fish sauce and pepper make into omelet - sliced)
some fried sesame seeds
1 tnsp of minced garlic

Seasoning

Soy sauce, sugar, salt pepper sesame oil and vegetable oil - all to adjust

Method

  1. Follow the instruction from the packing to cook the Korean glass noodles. Set aside.
