* The noodles will absorb a lot of flavor, because it is made of sweet potato or mung bean starch. Therefore, you will find yourself adding soy sauce a lot. Other veggies can be added such as, red bell peppers or zucchini. These noodles are gluten free.

Korean Style Chinese Noodles Korean Style Chinese Noodles
Korean Chinese noodles? What? Are you insane FoFa? Well, maybe i just suck at naming. What it is, i took a Chinese noodles recipe, made some modifications, and here it is. Mostly because i didn't have the Chinese ingredients, but do maintain a small amount of Korean, like gochujang, which life isn't worth living without.Ok, maybe a little stretch there, but seriously, i love the stuff.This isn't really difficult in any sense, or time consuming.You could actually, double the noodles, double the meat, and it would give you more, and be just a little spicy.I would say this is medium spicy as is, unless you are capsaicin challenged, then it would be very spicy.

Korean Glass Noodles (chapjae or jabcha) Korean Glass Noodles (chapjae or jabcha)
Always wanted to try this? No idea how? Here is a step by step on how to do this.This is rather time consuming, but oh so worth it. I made this one more veggie heavy, rather than noodle heavy, at least to give the impression it is a tad healthier 😊. I found in restaurants it is mostly noodles, because they are cheaper I suppose.Here is a note about this dish. Required, soy sauce and sesame oil. These two are the major flavor factors.Next is the glass noodles, which offer a slightly chewy texture which is hard to duplicate. But if only rice noodles or regular spaghetti noodles are available, go ahead and use that. The texture will be different, but the flavors should be good still.Sugar and garlic round out the flavors of this dishs basic flavors.Meat is actually optional, tofu can be used also, as well as chicken, pork, etc., Or none at all.The veggies are completely up to you. But the onions are pretty much a staple.The egg is usually for looks, and some only use the yolk for that bright yellow splash of color.This is typically NOT spicy, so it works for a lot of people. It can be a main course, or a side dish.The choice is yours. -
Korean/Chinese Chilled Noodles Korean/Chinese Chilled Noodles
I love Korean Chilled Noodles at Korean barbecue restaurants, but I don't like the soup that comes with store-bought Korean chilled noodles. I can't buy only the noodles at my near-by supermarket, and it's too expensive to buy the whole set because I don't use the soup. So when I can't buy only the noodles, I make this Korean-style dish with Chinese noodles or somen noodles.If you don't have the kimchi base, you can substitute with the juice from Chinese cabbage kimchi (2-3 tablespoons). If you have mul kimchi, it will be very delicious if you use the juice from it. Combine the juice with 300 ml water, add vinegar, sugar, beef soup stock granules, and adjust the taste accordingly.

Kudzu noodles are often used in hot pots or with vinegary dishes, but when I tried sautéing them, they surprisingly tasted really good and my whole family was quite happy.Since there's little moisture in this dish, stir the ingredients really well after heating in the microwave.Adjust the amount of gochujang to taste.
