Japchae is a stir-fried noodle dish mixed with slightly cooked vegetables. My husband always says that the flavor of this dish reminds of him pizza. So I call this Korean Pizza noodle. The noodle is made with yam starch and it looks similar to vermicelli. It is one of most served party foods. You can serve it as a side dish or a main dish. Also you can make Japchae rice by simply putting Japchat on the top of rice.
8 oz Dangmyeon (yam starch noodles)
thinly sliced mushrooms
1/2 thinly sliced carrot
1/2 thinly sliced onion
1/2 steamed spinach
soy sauce 3T
minced garlic 1T

sesame oil 1/2T

1. Soak Dangmyeon (noodles) in cold water for 1 hour until the noodles get softened. Drain water.
