Lee Yeon-bok's Chinese-style Japchae

Cooking tips 💡

• Using cold-water-soaked glass noodles instead of boiling them helps absorb moisture from vegetables during stir-frying, preventing burning and maintaining a chewy texture longer.
• For serving as japchae rice, add an extra 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce to enhance saltiness and depth of flavor.
• Wood ear mushrooms tend to break apart easily, so adding them at the final stage preserves their firm, chewy texture.
