carrot

sweet onion

scallions

beef

spinach

vegetable oil for stir frying

salt and pepper

soy sauce

sugar (or brown sugar)

sesame oil

garlic

sesame seeds

Egg garnish (jidan - optional)

Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

Cut the carrot into match sticks. Thinly slice the onion. Cut the scallions into similar lengths.

Cut the beef into thin 2-inch long strips and mix with 1 tablespoon of the sauce. Cut the stems off the mushrooms, and slice into 1/4-inch thin strips. Season with 1 tablespoon of the sauce.

Blanch the spinach in boiling water only until wilted. Drain quickly and shock in cold water. Squeeze out excess water, cut into about 2-inch lengths, and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Bring a pot of water to a boil, and cook the noodles according to the package directions (usually 6 - 7 minutes). Rinse in cold water and drain. Cut the noodles with kitchen shears or a knife into 6 -7 inch lengths. Mix in 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce in a large bowl.

In a large non-stick skillet, stir fry the noodles over medium heat, stirring frequently, until translucent and a bit sticky (about 4 minutes). Transfer back to the bowl.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the pan, and stir fry the onion until translucent over medium high heat, lightly sprinkling with salt and pepper. When the onion is almost done, stir-in the scallion and cook briefly. Transfer to the bowl with the noodles. Stir fry the carrot for 1 to 2 minutes until softened. (Do not overcook. The vegetables should be crisp.) Transfer to the bowl.

Stir fry the beef and mushrooms together until the meat is cooked through, 2 - 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl.

Add the spinach and the remaining sauce to the bowl with all other prepared ingredients.

Toss well by hand. Adjust the seasoning to taste by adding a little more (start with 1/2 teaspoon) soy sauce and/or sugar as necessary.

tsp rice wine ((mirin))

tsp black pepper

Tbsp honey

Tbsp brown sugar

Tbsp toasted sesame oil

black pepper

cooking oil ((I used rice bran oil))

fine sea salt

water (to boil the spinach and the noodles)

Place the beef strips into a medium bowl. Add the &quot;beef marinade&quot; and gently mix the sauce into the meat. Cover the bowl with food wrap and set it aside while you&#x27;re working on other ingredients.

Get the rest of the ingredients ready per below.- Prepare the vegetables as instructed in the “main ingredients” section.- Put the sliced mushroom into a medium bowl and add 1 Tbsp of “noodles &amp; mushroom marinade” mixture. Mix them well. Set it aside until you cook it (in about 20 mins).- Blanch the spinach in rolling boiling water (5 to 10 seconds). Drain the water and quickly cool it down by running it under cold tap water. Squeeze the spinach to remove any excess water and put it into a mixing bowl. Add the &quot;spinach seasoning&quot; and mix them gently and evenly. Put it into a large mixing bowl where we will be adding the rest of prepared ingredients in later.- Boil some water in a large pot. Once the water starts to boil (6 to 8 mins later), add the noodles and boil them for 6 to 7 mins. Drain the water. Rinse in cold water to cool down and let the water drain for 1 to 2 mins.Cut the noodles with a pair of kitchen scissors a couple of times. (Between 15 to 20 cm / 6 to 8 inches length is good). Move the noodles into a mixing bowl and pour in the rest of the &quot;noodles &amp; mushroom marinade&quot; mixture. Mix them well. Set it aside until you cook it (in about 10 mins).

Start cooking the prepared ingredients per below. Follow the order if you can. We are cooking lighter color to darker color (to minimize the color transfer and avoid washing up in between) and will be using only one non-stick pan/skillet.Once each step is completed, move them into the large mixing bowl (except for the first two – egg white and egg yolk), where we will be mixing all ingredients in before serving.- Beat the egg white with a fork. Add some cooking oil (1 tsp) on a well heated pan and spread it well. Pour the egg white mixture and cook both sides on low heat (1-2 mins). Transfer it onto a clean cutting board and set aside.- Beat the egg yolk with a fork. (If necessary, add more cooking oil onto the pan and spread it well.) Pour the egg yolk mixture and cook both sides on low heat (1-2 mins). Transfer it onto a clean cutting board and set aside.- Add more oil if necessary. Cook the onion with a pinch of salt over low to medium heat until it softens (1-2 mins). Transfer it to the large mixing bowl.- Add more oil if necessary. Cook the carrots with a pinch of salt over medium heat until it softens (1-2 mins). Transfer it to the large mixing bowl.- Add more oil if necessary. Cook the red capsicum with a pinch of salt over low to medium heat until it softens (1-2 mins). Transfer it to the large mixing bowl.- Add more oil if necessary. Pour in the marinated mushroom (incl. the residue sauce from the bowl) and stir fry until it is cooked (1-2 mins) over low to medium heat. Transfer it to the large mixing bowl.- Add more oil if necessary. Pour in the marinated meat and stir fry until it is cooked (2-3 mins) over medium heat. Transfer it to the large mixing bowl.- Add more oil if necessary. Stir fry the marinated noodles until the noodles are well coated with the sauce (2-3 mins) over low to medium heat. Transfer it to the large mixing bowl.

Thinly slice the egg white and egg yolk like match sticks. Add them into the large mixing bowl as used above.

Add the rest of the “finishing touch” ingredients – sesame oil and sesame seeds in the large mixing bowl and mix them gently and evenly with your hands. (Watch your hands, as the ingredients, particularly the noodles might be still hot. You can also use a salad server to mix initially then mix with your hands once it cools down enough.) Serve.

A vegan alternative to the traditional Japchae using tofu as the main protein. Sweet Potato Noodle Stir Fry.

Vegan Japchae (Korean Glass Noodles)

water or stock

sugar

200 g firm tofu

ginger

250 g Sweet Potato Noodles

shallots

spring onion

carrots

red bell pepper

shiitake mushrooms

If you are using dry shiitake mushrooms put them in warm water for at least 30 minutes. Keep the water as it will be used in the sauce.

Prepare the marinade. Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, stock or water (use the shiitake stock when using dry shiitakes) and sugar and whisk until all the ingredients are well mixed. Crush the garlic cloves and press or shred the ginger and add into the marinade.

Cut the tofu into triangles or cubes and add into the marinade bowl. Leave the tofu marinating while preparing the rest of the ingredients.

Cook the noodles. Using a big pan, bring water to a boil and add the noodles. Cook for about 6-7 minutes and rinse with cold water. Make sure the noodles are cold to stop them from cooking further and leave aside.

Cut the veggies. Cut the shallots in half and finely slice. Cut the top and bottom part of the spring onion, cut in half lengthwise and slice into longish strips. Peel and cut the carrot into long thin strips and cut the red pepper the same way, trying to keep all the veggies the same size. lice the shiitake mushrooms and roughly chop the spinach.

Heat some oil in a pan (you can use sesame oil or another type of vegetable oil) and using tongs, add the tofu. It's important that the sauce is left in the bowl where the tofu has been marinating as it will be used later. Once the tofu is cooked both sides, transfer into a bowl and set aside.

Using the same pan over medium heat, cook the veggies. First, add the shallots and spring onions. Cook for a couple of minutes and add the carrots and red peppers. Let the vegetables cook for 3-4 minutes before adding the shiitake mushrooms and keep cooking. The vegetables shouldn't be cooked for a long time as you want them to have a bit of a crunch when serving.

Once the vegetables are cooked, add the tofu and spinach and stir until the spinach has wilted.

Last, add the cooked noodles and the rest of the sauce. Using tongs mix well making sure all the ingredients are combined. Add some sesame seeds and serve.
