Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ pound Korean dang myun noodles
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup thinly sliced onions
2 carrots, cut into match-stick size pieces
½ pound asparagus, thinly sliced
3 green onions cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked until soft, then sliced into strips
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the dang myun noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the noodles uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles have cooked through, but are still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain well in a colander set in the sink. Toss noodles with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Set aside. Whisk soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, carrots, and asparagus; cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in green onions and shiitake mushrooms and continue cooking and stirring for 30 seconds. Pour in the soy sauce mixture, then add the noodles. Cook and stir until the noodles are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and toss with sesame seeds and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil.

KOREAN GLASS NOODLES (JAP CHAE)



Korean Glass Noodles (Jap Chae) image

The type of noodles used in this dish is made from sweet potato starch and translucent when cooked, hence the English name, 'glass noodles.' They are also gluten free and are wonderfully springy and light. These noodles can be served hot, room temperature, or even slightly chilled; they are very versatile. They can be found at most Asian markets.

½ pound dried Korean sweet potato noodles
2 ½ teaspoons sesame oil, divided
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon cooking oil
¾ cup thinly sliced onions
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
2 cloves garlic, finely minced

Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and return to the pot; toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil.

YUMMY KOREAN GLASS NOODLES (JAP CHAE)



Yummy Korean Glass Noodles (Jap Chae) image

After lots of trial and error, I have managed to recreate one of my favorite appetizer dishes served at a Korean restaurant. While this is not the traditional Jap Chae that includes meats and vegetables, this one is sweet and delightful. Great served as an appetizer or a side dish to chicken and meat! Enjoy.
