Jīdàn (鸡蛋) just means "chicken egg"
Welp – looks like I'm adding Korean glass noodles to my next international grocery list. Wonder how this would be with a little bit of gochujang or gochugaru thrown into the marinade? Only thing I could image this missing is a little spiciness.
Brian! You should try making Kimari with the left over japchae by rolling them up with seaweed and dip with a flour+potatoe starch batter and deep frying them. DIP WITH TTETBOKI
Excellent!????????????
The recipe is slightly different from how I do it, but then again like any home cooked meals, everyone has their own variation. One thing i do wanna say is instead of adding the seseme oil to the sauce. Add it at the end to add a little sheen to the noodle.
That being said, this recipe is on par with what other Korean written recipes I've seen.
You've got a lovely girlfriend! ❤
are you kidding?!?!? i saved 4 tiktoks on japchae and was going to make a trip to the store tonight. you're timing is impeccable bri!
You removed the arrow. Cool ???? I kinda hate YouTube for telling people to put arrows everywhere. And all the other clickbait things they said to add to thumbnails. Your work speaks for itself, Brian. You don’t need them
Ok what knifes do you have and where can I buy them? My kitchen knives suck
Solid and valid as always Chef! Honestly I'm not the biggest fan of Japchae, whenever me or my mom makes it its kinda a side dish to accentuate some other main star protein on the table, but it's still good regardless and I think you did the dish an absolute justice. Loving it Bri! Thanks for giving my culture a rep ????????.
any alternatives to those glass noodles? there are simply NO paotato starch noodles where i live. what can i use instead? would rice glass noodles work? thanks
I had never heard of this dish until a few years ago when a new Asian restaurant opened in our town of Elmhurst, IL (shout out to Ming Chef), featuring Thai, Chinese, and Korean fare. They list it as Chop Chae. Sweet potato noodles! Very tasty; and now I have a recipe I can try at home. Thanks!
Speaking from personal experience, do not try to stir fry this in a carbon steel wok, this has to be done in a non stick skillet. I don't know what it is exactly but sweet potato noodles stick horribly to carbon steel no matter what you do.
yes finally Bri i really want to get your take on this korean staple and we have a similar recipe back home in my native country but we use regular vermicilli not sweet potato noodles thanks????????????????????????????????
This is too good to be true. Thank you!
This one korean cooking channel, Aaron & Claire, uses long chives instead of spinach in their japchae. I’ve cooked it both ways, chives & with spinach. I really like the chives version. Depends on your feelings with spinach maybe
Everything you've done is authentic and delicate!
hey Bri, why did you waste so much of the green bit?
look at mister fancy pants big bucks man over here, throwing away 1/10 of the whole thing.
and why you use 5 different glasses when you can just measure out in the same one but five times and then you don't need to clean that much
