Oodles of noodles! Korean style!






Japchae jobchae or Glass/cellophane noodle is a favorite among noodle enthusiasts, it is a favorite in my house it's fun and light compared to it's mein variety cousins.
To make:
Purchase saifun or dangmyun noodles (usually in asian specialty stores) they are white or gray in appearance when dry.
Combine: Soy sauce, a little sugar, garlic I put a little bit of chicken stock in a pan and about 2 cups water.
Boil mixture and then turn off heat
Place noodles in mixture and let them soak for about 1/2 hour.
Strain noodles completely! even push on them to get out all moisture
Place in dish or bowl and with a pair of kitchen scissors cut into 2 inch pieces then drizzle with sesame oil stir and enjoy!
add some green onion and sesame seeds if you like!
Goes great with any asian meat we especially like bulkogi or kalbi with it! and with some stir fried cabbage and other veggies is a great party menu! you will make everyone smile and kids like the texture and way the noodles look too!
