Cooking tips

  • Since this dish is cooked quickly over high heat, slice carrots as thinly as possible for even cooking.
  • If you prefer less spice or don’t have chili oil, substitute with regular vegetable oil without issue.
  • If using spinach, skip blanching—add it raw like scallions in the final step for convenience.

Recommended for

  • Those who found traditional japchae preparation and cleanup too burdensome.
  • Those who want to enjoy rich, savory Chinese-style flavor with oyster sauce and chili oil.
  • Those looking to quickly create a fancy noodle dish using leftover scraps of vegetables.
