Okjubu's Hwajeo Japchae

A distinctive soup dish that combines the fresh aroma of seasonal hwa-jeo with the rich umami of red crab sauce, enhanced by a savory soybean paste broth.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Hwa-jeo loses its vibrant green color and aroma if overcooked, so always add it at the very end, just long enough to wilt.
  • If red crab sauce is unavailable, substitute with red crab soy sauce or tuna sauce to replicate the distinct briny umami flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a unique and fragrant soup version of japchae beyond holidays, as part of everyday meals.
  • People who love the deep, savory taste of soybean paste-based broths paired with fresh seasonal vegetables.
