Notes
Japchae is a sure pleaser. The texture of a properly cooked vermicelli really hits the spot. Subtle seasoning of soy or vegan oyster sauce does the trick. The main skill you are going to develop here is the mixing of noodles by hand. So get your Japchae game on and bring some on your next pot luck!
