Hong Shin-ae's One-Pan Japchae

Super simple one-pan japchae where the glass noodles are not boiled separately but simmered in the seasoning sauce, keeping them chewy for a long time.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soaking glass noodles in lukewarm water instead of boiling prevents excessive starch gelatinization, keeping them chewy for a longer time.
  • When stir-frying the ingredients, adding a little seasoning sauce at a time to season each component helps the flavors penetrate deeply, enriching the overall taste.
  • Coating the noodles with sesame oil first before mixing in the other toppings prevents them from sticking together or getting soggy.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to easily and quickly make traditionally complex japchae in a single pan.
  • Those who desire japchae that stays chewy and doesn't get soggy even after time or when reheated from the fridge.
  • Those who want to create a well-seasoned dish with each ingredient properly flavored from the start.
