Description

Korean Japchae is a flavorful and colorful stir-fried noodle dish made with sweet potato glass noodles, assorted vegetables, and sometimes beef or tofu, all tossed in a savory-sweet soy-based sauce.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz Korean sweet potato noodles (dangmyeon)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for noodles)
  • 1/2 lb beef (ribeye or sirloin), thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for beef)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (for beef)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for beef)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs, beaten and cooked into a thin omelet, sliced (optional)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook sweet potato noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with 1 tablespoon sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, marinate the beef with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Stir-fry onion, carrot, and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add spinach and garlic, cooking until wilted. Remove from heat.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, beef, vegetables, and sliced egg.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Pour over the noodle mixture and toss well to combine.
  7. Top with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use tofu instead of beef for a vegetarian version.
  • Japchae can be made ahead and served cold or reheated.
  • Add mushrooms like shiitake or wood ear for more umami.
  • Adjust soy sauce and sugar to taste preference.
