Food of the Week- Japchae (잡채)

This past weekend, I had a homestay experience. Our first activity was cooking Japchae (잡채) at JS Cusine Institute.

Japchae is simple to make, the key ingredients being cellophane noodles (called dangmyeon), sauce, beef, mushroom, onion, carrot, and cucumber peel. When we were watching the head cook give instructions, I thought she would use the cucumber part, but I was suprised when she just diced the peel.



My host dad and I cooked together. First, we chopped the vegetables, followed by the beef to be as sanitary as possible. Then, we sauted it all. We put the special sauce on the beef and noodles, and cooked that. We mixed it all together at the end, and it was really delicious!




I think this is a simple dish to make with the ingredients being fairly common, but making the sauce might prove difficult. This recipe doesn't call for sugar, but we did put some in our sauce. Try it out at home, it's 맛있어요!
