Ttukdak Hyung's One-Pan Japchae

A super-simple japchae that skips the hassle of stir-frying ingredients separately. Meat, vegetables, and glass noodles go into a single frying pan in order, with cola added to create an appetizing brown color that stays glossy without turning soggy.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you don't have cola, add the same amount of water as in the original recipe.
  • Beef dashida and Miwon are optional. If omitting them, check the seasoning midway through cooking.
  • Wilt the spinach with residual heat after turning off the burner to preserve its aroma and texture.
  • Transfer the finished japchae from the hot pan to a wide bowl right away to prevent the noodles from clumping.

Recommended for

  • Those who have never attempted japchae because the process of stir-frying numerous ingredients separately—and the resulting pile of dishes—seemed too daunting.
  • Those who want to make japchae whose noodles stay glossy and don't turn soggy or break apart even after sitting.
  • Those who want to cleverly use up that flat, leftover cola languishing in a corner of the fridge.
