Maangchi, I made it!!! It's soooooo yummy!!! I didn't have the kimchi though. I bet it would be even better with kimchi, to get that salty crunchy spicy taste.
This reminds me of Filipino pancit, which is also some sort of noodles with vegetables and (I think) pork. I don't really like it, but I would love to try your Japchae!
This is very amazing! I love the way you give the directions when your cooking because you don't pause and it makes it all easier to understand! I LOVE KOREAN FOOD!! I was shocked at the Kimchi you had!!! Best taste ever!!
Thanks for your wonderful knowledge in cooking!!! You have inspired me!!
Just finished making this dish, am tasting it now and am so pleased with the recipe! I always thought I'd be complicated to make Jabchae but it was so easy! Love it thanks heaps!!
Could you show me how to make another kind of Japchae without beef? Because my mom loves the vegetarian version we ate in a restaurant. I want to make it for her but she's allergic to beef. :(
Omg!! I love the way u cook.. I first found you're videos about a year ago when I was looking up how to make mae-un-tang.. I was soled! Still haven't tried making it myself.. but I will this week finally and a lot of you're other recipes that I watched today.. Im hispanic of mexican decent and my bf is korean so he will be so happy when he sees that he's gf has learned how to cook korean foods... I feel confident since u teach so well in you're videos... Thanx a lot!!
@itseffinsexxitime I think your heat was too high. I would lower your heat. It's okay if you don't cook the carrots in super high heat. Everyone's stove are different.
Wow you have some mad cooking skills! Ive never seen a carrot/onion chopped so fast! Are you using olive oil to cook the veg on hi? Ive heard that you should only use ooil for sauteing bc higher heat kills of the benifit of the oil. I thought u were using grape seed or some other oil for cooking vegs. Great job, cant wait to make it. Thanks for sharing your vid.
yummmmm i bought some chap chae noodles earlier today, i can't wait to make it. i usually eat chap chae noodles at the mall food court, but this seems so easy to make. oh and its not really stir fried noodles because the noodles weren't fried right??
@electricmoo88 when you actually make it , japchae's really time and labor-consuming, like a lot of korean foods, maangchi and her super skills can do it that fast.
very yummy! i've made this a couple of times and my husband asked me to make it for his company's pot luck for christmas! Thank you so much for this video! you've made me enjoy cooking so much. kisses!
I try this recipe and we love it and perfect...there is one thing i can suggest..The noodle it takes exactly 6 min to perfect the texture of the noodle. everything is heaven!!! Yummmm!!!
Ahh my boyfriends mother made this for me when I was in Korea...now I can try to make it for her thanks to you!!! :D
Can I also make a couple requests of foods I'd like to see you post? Could you post how to make 라볶이, 부대찌개, and 장어구이!! Thank you so much!! I can't wait to try making your recipes for my Korean boyfriend...he'll be so impressed!!!
I really love your videos, Maangchi. :) I wish I can be at my home country right now because where I am currently at, I can't find sesame oil and there's no Korean grocery store. I will hopefully try this once I visit my home country. Please always post videos with your mouth-watering recipes 'till your hair turns gray. :)
thanks for sharing! had my this for the first time last week. a nice korean lady cooked it for me and some friends. it´s so good to know to make it. it is quite different compared to other asian way of cooking. i usually mix everything in a pan, not one by one but this also makes good sense. thanks!
My sister and I love that dish so much and we often go to Korean restaurant just to eat it, but the price is very very expensive.
So I tried to cook jabchae based on your recipe and it turned out really really delicious!!! (more delicious than the one at the restaurant, if I may say ^^).
Thanks for the quick reply! One more quick question. Is there a difference between soaking the noodles in cold water or boiling the noodles? I have some people tell me to soak the noodles.
Hi Maangchi, I'm an adopted Korean and a few of my friends (also adoptees) are planning a Korean dinner! I'd love to make job chae, but I'm not sure what kind of beef to use. Does it matter as long as it's sliced thin? Also, one of my friends is vegetarian. Could I half the recipe and use tofu in one and 1/2 the amount of beef in the other?
@smitla03 for japchae, actually you can use any cut of beef. I love to use skirt steak because it's chewy and tender. Your vegetarian friend can eat fish cake? I would use thinly sliced fish cake instead of meat for her. If she can't eat fishcake, use lots of different types of mushrooms: shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, white mushrooms..
@Maangchi i used to eat at a restaurant a japchae variation with shrimp, squid and baby octopus instead of beef, and it´s delicious too, do you know the name of that version? i don´t know the correct spelling but its something like hemu jobchae bap, i know that the word bap refers to the rices and the first one must refer to the seafood. see you later and thanks again.
hi, i really appreciate your cooking lessons but i wonder why you use olive oil over vegetable oil. it's not traditional in korean cooking. is there a particular reason why you prefer it?
My sister in Law's mum used to make this for me all the time.
I took my BF to try JobChae at a Korean bbq restaurant to order it and it was HorRible!(overly oily only had raw cabbage tiny specs of meat, too much black pepper & the noddles wernt even mixed together just placed on top of the raw oily cabbage)
So after we left i immediately went to korean store to buy the noodles so i can make him REAL JAPCHAE!. Thanks to your video I can show him what these noodles should really taste like!
@Maangchi Yay! it turned out great! I followed everything you did! though i had to substitute spinach for cabbage & green leaves from choi sum since i couldn't get english spinach. My Bf said it was much better than the restaurants japchea! he had like2 servings then 3 more tinny servings after o.O; .heehee. Your videos are easy to follow! I love em! :) Thank You. Hmm now looking at which dish next to try from ur video list :D~ heehee!
Jab chae is what I wanted when I was a child. I mean that is an ideal food for me. When I met job chae for the first time, I felt "yes! this is what I wanted!" It's a perfect dish and good nutrition with many vegitables!
these are times when i wish i could just jump inside the monitor of my computer and join you guys...but i'll try the recipe...that's a quick but clear step by step instruction...thnx for sharing
@nahrut2 thats just the name of the dish but only the vegetables are stir fried. the glass noodle will lose its chewiness if it were to be stir fried.
My sister and I tried this recipe yesterday! We put some jalapenos in it to make it a little spicy :). It came out really good, thank you Maangchi ! The recipe says it serves 4 people but I think enough for us to eat yesterday, today, and tomorrow haha! I will definitely make it again in the future.
I needed a vegetarian recipe and tried this one without the meat. It was so easy and tasted wonderful. My whole family enjoyed it. Korean cooking is very new to me and I am enjoying these recipes. Keep them coming.
@4vaughns yes, it could be made for vegetarian version. One of my vegetarin blog readers made her japchae by replacing meat with fried tofu. She said it turned out very delicious. I posted the photo of her japchae. Check my japchae recipe on my website and take a look at the photo if you want.
Can I use regular spaghetti noodles or soba noodles (they look similar to the noodles in the video, though I could be wrong)? I can't find those kind here. :(
Also, I can't find sesame oil...can I make the recipe without it?
@sugarbasil no, I don't think so. The noodles for japchae are very important ingredients for this dish. Check the forum "where do you find Korean ingredients" on my website. You may be able to find info about a Korean store in your area. If you can't find, leave your question there. Someone else may give you the answer.
@sugarbasil Sesame oil o.o is everywhere in asian market, western supermarket anywhere..its so common now just ask people :D around ^^ and yeah noodle for this recipe is really important its completely different from soba and spaghetti..
Wow! Thank you so much Maangchi for sharing these recipes! It makes my mouth water every time I watch ;) Job chae and bibimbap are my favorite dishes to order when I eat at a korean restaurant here, but now I can make these dishes at home, thanks to you! You're the best, Maangchi! (=^-^=)
sure, it's Ok if you don't have them. I'm Korean and I usally don't add them either everytime I make jobchae. you can also add another vegetables you like. that would be an applied jobchae
i ate this yesterday at my (korean) friends house and loved it!!!!!!!!!! thats why i really want to marry a korean man so my mother in law can cook and teach me how to cook korean food lol
Stir for couple of minutes. Turn off the heat and add sesame seeds. Toss well and your dish is ready to serve. It can be served hot or room temperature. Frankly, I loved it hot!
What is good about this dish, is that most of the ingredients are optional. So, use your imagination and create something you love out of vegetables you love.
Beat the egg, make an omelet. Julien and use as a topping for the dish.
In a large pan heat sesame oil+olive oil and start stir frying julienned beef for couple of minutes in medium high heat. Add onions, carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, scallions, garlic, salt, pepper. Let cook for a few minutes, stirring, until the vegetables are cooked but still a little crisp. Turn down the heat to medium low. Add noodles, spinach soy sauce and ginger.
(adding salt and black pepper to taste). Either way, do not forget to julien the meat :D
Spinach
There are multiple ways of dealing with spinach.
1. You can add spinach while all the ingredients are being slightly stir fried. 2. You can add them during mixing process after the vegetables are stir fried.
Tenderloin or sirloin is best for this dish. You can also marinate the meat for 30 minutes using 2 tbs of sesame oil+2 tbs soy sauce+2 cloves of garlic, minced+ 2 tbs minced ginger. By doing this you should cut ingredients listed in half IF you are stir frying everything together. If you are frying every ingredient separately, you should first make the sauce out of sesame oil+soy sauce+garlic+ginger. Use half for marinating the meat and the other half use as a dressing at the end
Cook noodles according to package directions. Usually, you drop noodles into boiling water and keep them there for 10 minutes. Take them out and rinse them in cold water immediately. Cut the noodles with kitchen shears to small pieces. This makes them easier to mix with other ingredients.
Noodles
If you are using dry shiitakes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes and rinse well afterward. You can leave the mushrooms as they are but I like them cut in smaller pieces.
Could I use fresh shitake mushrooms instead of dry?

My sister and I tried this recipe yesterday! We put some jalapenos in it to make it a little spicy :). It came out really good, thank you Maangchi ! The recipe says it serves 4 people but I think enough for us to eat yesterday, today, and tomorrow haha! I will definitely make it again in the future.

I needed a vegetarian recipe and tried this one without the meat. It was so easy and tasted wonderful. My whole family enjoyed it. Korean cooking is very new to me and I am enjoying these recipes. Keep them coming.

@4vaughns yes, it could be made for vegetarian version. One of my vegetarin blog readers made her japchae by replacing meat with fried tofu. She said it turned out very delicious. I posted the photo of her japchae. Check my japchae recipe on my website and take a look at the photo if you want.
Thank you for your update!

Can I use regular spaghetti noodles or soba noodles (they look similar to the noodles in the video, though I could be wrong)? I can't find those kind here. :(
Also, I can't find sesame oil...can I make the recipe without it?
sugarbasil 1 year ago
@sugarbasil no, I don't think so. The noodles for japchae are very important ingredients for this dish. Check the forum "where do you find Korean ingredients" on my website. You may be able to find info about a Korean store in your area. If you can't find, leave your question there. Someone else may give you the answer.

@sugarbasil Sesame oil o.o is everywhere in asian market, western supermarket anywhere..its so common now just ask people :D around ^^ and yeah noodle for this recipe is really important its completely different from soba and spaghetti..

Maangchii, what is the reason of cooking the vegetables separately instead of altogether?

Stir for couple of minutes. Turn off the heat and add sesame seeds. Toss well and your dish is ready to serve. It can be served hot or room temperature. Frankly, I loved it hot!
What is good about this dish, is that most of the ingredients are optional. So, use your imagination and create something you love out of vegetables you love.

Eggs
Beat the egg, make an omelet. Julien and use as a topping for the dish.
In a large pan heat sesame oil+olive oil and start stir frying julienned beef for couple of minutes in medium high heat. Add onions, carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, scallions, garlic, salt, pepper. Let cook for a few minutes, stirring, until the vegetables are cooked but still a little crisp. Turn down the heat to medium low. Add noodles, spinach soy sauce and ginger.

3. You can put spinach in a hot water for couple of minutes. Drain them, and then add it during mixing process OR
4. You can stir fry ready noodles with spinach in a 1 Tbsp of sesame oil.
I chose the first method.
ladyhawkesherry 2 years ago
(adding salt and black pepper to taste). Either way, do not forget to julien the meat :D
Spinach
There are multiple ways of dealing with spinach.
1. You can add spinach while all the ingredients are being slightly stir fried. 2. You can add them during mixing process after the vegetables are stir fried.

Meat
Tenderloin or sirloin is best for this dish. You can also marinate the meat for 30 minutes using 2 tbs of sesame oil+2 tbs soy sauce+2 cloves of garlic, minced+ 2 tbs minced ginger. By doing this you should cut ingredients listed in half IF you are stir frying everything together. If you are frying every ingredient separately, you should first make the sauce out of sesame oil+soy sauce+garlic+ginger. Use half for marinating the meat and the other half use as a dressing at the end

Directions:
Cook noodles according to package directions. Usually, you drop noodles into boiling water and keep them there for 10 minutes. Take them out and rinse them in cold water immediately. Cut the noodles with kitchen shears to small pieces. This makes them easier to mix with other ingredients.
Noodles
If you are using dry shiitakes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes and rinse well afterward. You can leave the mushrooms as they are but I like them cut in smaller pieces.
