Kim Ho-yoon's Japchae

A super-simple one-pan japchae where the glass noodles are simmered directly in the seasoning liquid instead of being boiled separately, so they stay firm and never turn mushy even after cooling.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Cooking the glass noodles directly in the seasoned braising liquid instead of boiling them separately coats the noodles, preventing them from becoming mushy even when cooled or reheated.
  • When stir-frying each vegetable separately, a light seasoning of salt brings out the natural sweetness of the ingredients and ensures the overall seasoning is perfectly balanced.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to easily make labor-intensive japchae in a single pan.
  • Those who insist on japchae with a chewy, springy texture that doesn't turn mushy over time.
