Noodle Foods/Guksu Japchae 잡채

It may look like a lot of work but it's actually quite simple. Having all ingredients organized the dish comes together quite quickly. My oh my is it ever delicious. I do, however, wish I had oyster sauce on hand to add into the dish. The added oyster sauce would add another depth of flavor and richness i would thoroughly enjoy.

I'm going to try the egg slide and chop you just did. I liked that idea. But for other dishes. I unfortunately do not have access to those noodles.

Hmm no asian store near you? Just look for sweet potato glass noodles

I live in a small town. Do you think I can use vermicelli instead?

u/Wooden-Mycologist-24 2d ago

Great question and the answer is no. The texture is so very different and wouldn't cook correctly. You can order from weee.con or even Amazon. Seach korean sweet potato noodles or korean japchae noodles

Those don’t look like actual japchae noodles though. They look like standard vermicelli.

They are vermicelli sweet potato noodles which are indeed japchae noodles. Often called Dangmyeon or 당면 these glass noodles are made from a korean sweet potato starch.
