Aha Bujang's Chinese-Style Japchae Rice

Cooking tips 💡

• Soak the glass noodles in warm water for at least 1 hour before cooking so they absorb seasoning quickly and don't become mushy.
• Adding a little dark soy sauce (laochou) gives the dish the appetizing deep brown color typical of Chinese restaurant japchae rice.
• Add the paprika at the end with residual heat instead of stir-frying from the start to preserve its crisp texture and vibrant color.
