Japchae - Korean Glass Noodle Stir-Fry

Main

Japchae (잡채) translates to “mixed vegetables” because of the way it's prepared. Traditionally all the vegetables are cooked separately and then mixed. We decided to cook them together to save time, and it tastes just as delicious!

We just love it! 😍😍😍

It turned out great!

I lived in Korea for a few years, and this wasn't quite right. Probably not enough oil, unfortunately 😅

Hi Claire, it's great to hear about your connection to Korea! Traditionally, for japchae, each vegetable is cooked separately, with oil added to the pan for each one. In this case, we cook everything together, using less oil, but you can always add more to suit your taste! ☺️

This recipe is going straight to our dinner rotation!

Easy and delicious!

sweet and salty

Favourite recipe of the app so far and I've tried a lot: absolutely amazing! ♥️

So yummy! I’d never even heard of sweet potato noodles! They’re thicker and chewier than rice noodles. My new favourite noodle! I’ve made this dish so many times it takes me less than 30 minutes now 😂

Yay aren't sweet potato noodles a fun way to change things up?! Love that stir-fry is speedy too, Sofia :)

Recette sympa et originale pour un repas léger. Manque un peu de goût. Ne pas hésiter à rehausser avec un peu de citron vert. Les nouilles de haricots sont vraiment un plus par rapport aux nouilles de riz pour cette recette

Hey Marguerite, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the recipe. Lime is a delicious idea. You can also increase the soy sauce to taste or add some hot sauce for spice if you enjoy a little kick :)

Marguerite De Valois - March 8, 2024, 8:15 p.m.

Thank you so much for youre idea ! I will test with some spicy sauce next Time 🙏


Andy - Jan. 4, 2024, 3:55 p.m.

So delicious! Lived in Seoul, South Korea for a while and this dish hits just the spot, it’s perfect 😍🤤

Aww love the connection to the recipe, Andy, thanks a bunch! ☺️

Amazing! 😍 I only had normal sesame oil on hand, probably would be even better with toasted! I added some honey & hoisin sauce to deepen the flavor. Even though I added a lot more of everything than it said in the 4portion recepie - it only came out to 3 normal sized portions for me. Strange! 🫣


Thomas Destruhaut - Dec. 4, 2023, 1:45 a.m.

This was great!! Healthy and delicious


Mikayla - Nov. 29, 2023, 2:02 a.m.

So tasty!


Eva Prince - Nov. 8, 2023, 5:33 p.m.

Wow!! Having learnt to make japchae years ago when I lived in Korea, I really enjoyed revisiting this dish with this recipe and I loved it!! So tasty!


Lia Silva - Sept. 28, 2023, 3:13 p.m.

One more great meal!! Super tasty and easy to make. I managed to pull it off in 30 minutes and had the leftovers packed for tomorrow’s lunch! 👌🏼🤩🏆

PUL small logo PUL Team - Sept. 28, 2023, 3:34 p.m.

Sounds like a win! We’re so thrilled to hear, Lia - enjoy the leftovers 🤩


LG - Sept. 3, 2023, 9:43 p.m.

Very tasty and full of veggies!


Srishti Tehri - Aug. 8, 2023, 11:43 a.m.

Good stuff! Easy and tasty! I also added a little chilli oil. And had chopped veggies like Pok choy, kale, purple cabbage, carrot- already cut for a salad that I used for the Japche. Along with mushroom of course! Topped it off with spring onions- was a hit amongst my fam.

Sounds incredible! Thank you, Srishti 😃

Really nice!


Lilli - June 29, 2023, 12:15 p.m.

This is a delicious meal that is packed with veggies, we loved it!! We used different noodles that were a bit too thin, but it still tasted great :)


Carissa Joy - May 12, 2023, 1:32 a.m.

This is beautiful dish and the noodles fascinated my kiddos. I used Jack Fruit instead of mock beef and it was delicious. We also added some sriracha because we like heat in our dishes.

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 12, 2023, 8:35 p.m.

Mmm sounds lovely, Carissa - we're so happy to hear!
