Korean glass noodle dish (잡채 / japchae)
At Sunny Health DPC, family medicine is more than prescriptions, it’s about food, culture, and connection 💛
Today I’m cooking a classic Korean glass noodle dish (잡채 / japchae), a festive stir-fry we make for birthdays, holidays, and special family moments. This dish always brings back the happiest memories.
✨ How we make it (simple & nourishing):
• Soak glass noodles in water ~15 minutes
• Boil briefly until clear (less than 10 min), drain well
• Stir-fry carrots, onions, and mushrooms lightly in olive oil
• Quickly blanch spinach, squeeze out water
• Combine noodles + veggies in a big bowl
• Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and just a touch of sugar
• Mix well so every noodle is perfectly coated
It’s delicious fresh, and even better the next day, lightly reheated or quickly stir-fried again with minimal oil.
