Japchae (Korean Glass Noodle Stir Fry)

It was tasty. But oh boy, it took me so long to make because of the multiple steps.

It was a little too oily and salty but good otherwise. Next time, I'll cut the salt and oil.

My family loves when I make this. I personally cook more meat so it's a bit more filling.

Add more sesame oil, mirin and soy sauce

Used marinated chicken thighs, 1 onion, 2 mini cucumbers (cut into matchsticks), 2 peppers, carrots, and rehydrated shiitake. Cooked all the veggies together (adding them at different times for crispness) then added 2 tbsp of the noodle sauce plus 2 chopped garlic cloves. Chicken marinade: 1 finely chopped garlic clove, 1/2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp cornstarch. Noodle sauce: 1 tbsp mushroom soy sauce, 1.5 light soy sauce, 1.5 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp white & black pepper mix.

Love, love, love this recipe! Although, it is complex to prepare, the cook time is only a few minutes. We've been making this on special occasions for some time now.
