Need a new noodle dish? Japchae is a Korean noodle stir fry made with sweet potato noodles, veggies, marinated beef strips and a sesame dressing. It is really easy to make and is a great mix of savoury and a little bit sweet.
Ingredients
- 1kg (about 2.2 lbs) beef strips (tri-tip recommended)
- 6 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp peanut oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 red pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
- 1 brown onion, sliced
- 4 spring onions, cut into 2cm (about 0.8 inch) pieces
- 8 dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated in hot water and sliced
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1 packet sweet potato noodles (or rice noodles if unavailable)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Directions
Marinate the beef strips in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, three cloves of crushed garlic, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 tablespoon of sesame seeds. Mix well and marinate for 24 hours.
To make the egg 'noodles', heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of peanut oil. Pour in half of the egg mixture and cook until you have a thin egg crêpe. Remove from the heat, let cool, then roll up and slice into noodle shapes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a wok over high heat. Add the sliced brown onion and carrot. Cook, tossing frequently, for 3-4 minutes, or until the carrots just start to wilt. Then add the sliced, rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and season the mixture with soy sauce and a little sesame oil. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Place the wok back over the heat and repeat the process with the red pepper and spring onions. Once cooked, remove and set aside.
Next, add the marinated beef to a clean wok with a little more peanut oil and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until just cooked.
- To cook the noodles, blanch them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain well.
- To assemble, add the cooked noodles, egg, beef, and vegetables to a bowl. Season with a little more soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss well and serve. Garnish with some toasted sesame seeds.
