Japchae: Korean Stir Fried Noodles

Step 1

Cook the sweet potato noodles in boiling water for about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and place into a bowl and set aside. Lightly drizzle a tablespoon of sesame oil over the noodles so they do not stick.

Step 2

Using a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Add the onion slices and garlic and sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the bulgogi and cook until browned and cooked through.

Step 3

Add the carrots and bell peppers and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes or, until the vegetables are beginning to soften. Add in the spinach and toss with the vegetables until slightly wilted and softened.

Step 4

Turn the heat off and remove the pan or wok from the heat. Add the cooked noodles, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar. Toss to combine.

Step 5

Taste and adjust/add seasonings if needed. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
