Cooking tips

  • Using thick-walled bell peppers instead of Korean piman peppers will release too much moisture and make the dish soggy, so it's best to use crunchy Korean piman peppers.
  • Coating the pork with starch and egg white before stir-frying helps retain its juices, making the meat surprisingly tender and soft.
  • Maintaining high heat throughout and stir-frying quickly to prevent the vegetables from releasing water is the key to Chinese-style stir-frying.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a spicy, savory Chinese-style one-bowl meal.
  • Those who want to recreate the tender meat texture of spicy japchae from Chinese restaurants at home.
  • Those who enjoy the harmony of crunchy vegetables and chewy glass noodles.
