This Man's Cook Japchae

A simple, oil-free, and refreshing japchae made by steaming noodles and ingredients together in a steamer basket without stir-frying each ingredient separately.

Ingredients needed 10 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding soy sauce and brown sugar directly to the boiling water gives the glass noodles a rich, appetizing dark color and deep flavor.
  • Immediately toss the hot boiled noodles with sesame oil to coat—this prevents drying out or sticking together over time.
  • Do not pour all the seasoning sauce at once; leave about 3 tablespoons and gradually mix it in while tossing the noodles to adjust seasoning to your preference, reducing the risk of over-salting.

Recommended for

  • Those who are intimidated by the complicated and tedious process of stir-frying ingredients separately when making japchae.
  • Those who prefer a light, non-greasy, clean, and refreshing japchae with minimal oil.
