Fried glass noodles Japchae
Origin of the recipe
Korean cuisine uses various types of noodles—the familiar wheat, rice, and buckwheat noodles. But the most famous are "glass" starch noodles, which actually become translucent when cooked. They perfectly absorb the flavors of spices and other ingredients, which are abundant in Korean dishes.

Cooking tips
You can also use other ingredients – any vegetables and mushrooms.
If you don't eat meat, you can replace the pork with another type of mushroom.
It is better to mix the ingredients in the wok with two spatulas.
If you find it difficult to stir long glass noodles, cut them directly in the wok with scissors.
