Awesome, thanks! The best part of japcchae is when it’s reheated again in the pan the next day, it tastes even better. I know I’m not the only one!

thanks for posting all these great recipes, i love Korean food, do you happen to know how to make dae ji bok koom? (i hope i’m prouncing it right)
oooo…one of my favorite dishes! you know, ive been practicing cooking a lot of korean food! Its one of the most time consuming meals to prepare. Most dishes take forever, guess thats why Korean restruants are so expensive!
do u have recipe for go-sa-lee na-mool?
this looks tastey – will try and make it over the weekend!!
i must say, jap chae is one of the most time-consuming things to make. i just buy mine from the store.
this is a like mine except i’ve never used parsley. i’ll use it next time tho. i agree with shine9809… leftover japchae tastes even better!
This was exactly the recipe I was looking for. It turned out great. Thanks for giving me my jab chae fix!
