Kim Jin-soon's Non-Soggy Japchae

The glass noodles are not pre-soaked but boiled directly in a soy sauce liquid to absorb flavor, and even when cooked in the same pan until the end, they do not become soggy.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding soy sauce, cooking oil, starch syrup, and oyster sauce to the noodle boiling water in advance seasons and coats the noodles, preventing them from becoming soggy easily.
  • To prevent vegetables from releasing moisture, season each lightly with salt and stir-fry only briefly to maintain a crunchy texture.
  • Do not rinse the boiled glass noodles in cold water; drain them in a colander and mix immediately with the seasoning to preserve the savory flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make japchae quickly without soaking the glass noodles.
  • Those looking for a japchae recipe that stays chewy and non-soggy until the next day.
