Ttukdak Hyung's Super Simple Japchae

A super simple one-pan japchae recipe where you soak dangmyeon in lukewarm water instead of boiling them separately, then quickly stir-fry with vegetables and sauce in a single pan until the liquid evaporates.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • The key is to soak the dangmyeon thoroughly in lukewarm water beforehand. If you add them unsoaked, they won't cook properly; soaking allows you to skip boiling.
  • By stir-frying all vegetables together rather than separately, you reduce oil usage and calories, and minimize cooking and cleanup.
  • Add sesame oil only at the very end with the heat turned off to prevent its aroma from dissipating during heating.

Recommended for

  • Those who love japchae but find the traditional method of stir-frying and mixing each ingredient too cumbersome.
  • Those who want to drastically reduce cooking time and kitchen cleanup using just one frying pan.
  • Those who want a moist side dish where the savory-sweet seasoning is deeply absorbed into every noodle.
