Treated myself to a comforting plate of japchae today โ glass noodles stir-fried with veggies and a little bit of soy-sesame goodness. I paired it with some spicy, crunchy kimchi on the side, and it hit all the right notes! ๐ฅข๐ฅ I love how the sweet and savory flavors of the noodles balance perfectly with the tangy kick of kimchi. Definitely one of my favorite Korean dishes! Anyone else love making japchae at home or have a favorite variation? submitted by /u/Nick_the_SteamEngine |
