A culinary response to Chinkzilla’s post – Hey, we can cook, AND we can cook Korean!
This is a very quick and simple dish for a weeknight after work. I always keep thin beef strips frozen in the freezer, and you can toss in any leftover vegetables julienned.
Everything would be ready to serve within 30 minutes – cut all the vegetables while the noodles are boiling, and then stir fry as soon as they finish.Jap Chae Ingredients:
Half a packet of glass noodle (Dang Myun)
200g beef
Handful of Chinese black fungus
1 carrot
1 onion
Half a Zucchini
5 tbs oil
1 tbs sesame seed oil
2 tbs soy sauce, with sugar
Salt & black pepper (pinch)
Sesame seed (pinch)
1 tbs minced garlic
w157001262
Cooking Directions
Soak mushrooms in water for 15 minutes. Cut into thin strips.
Cut beef into thin strips and marinate it with the mushrooms in a seasoning of: soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, sesame seed oil, and a pinch of ground pepper.
Cut carrots, zucchini and onion into thin strips (julienne).
Cook the noodles in boiling water for about 10 minutes (You may want to cut the noodles in half before hand if they are too long). Rinse in cold water and drain.
Start cooking the beef and black fungus with a bit of oil.
When beef is cooked add carrot, onion, zucchini, and noodles and stir-fry with added seasame oil
When vegetables are cooked, use salt and soy sauce to season the dish to your taste. Add sesame seeds. Can be served hot or cold.
