Japchae is my favorite Noodle Dish of all time!  My good friend jennacho2 made this for my son so I had to give it a shot! It’s a traditional Korean dish

KOREAN JAPCHAE 

1 pound dried Korean sweet potato noodles
5 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
2 tablespoon cooking oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced onions
4 carrots, cut into matchsticks
10 cloves garlic, finely minced
5 stalks green onions, cut into 1″ lengths
1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced (shitake, wood ear) you can rehydrate dried too
1 lb spinach
8 tablespoons soy sauce
8 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoon sesame seeds

Fill a large pot with water and boil. When water is boiling, add the noodles and cook for 6-7 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse with cold water. Toss with only 2 tsp of the sesame oil. Use kitchen shears to cut noodles into shorter pieces, about 8 inches in length. Set aside.

Spinach. Boil water. Blanched spinach for 2-3 minutes. Strain. Rinse w/cold water. Squeeze out all liquid. Chop once in half.  Sprinkle with salt, 1 tsp sesame oil. 1/2 tsp salt. Mix well. Set aside.

In bowl, mix soy sauce & sugar together. 

Add the cooking oil to a heated wok on high heat and swirl to coat. When the cooking oil is hot but not smoking, fry onions and carrots, until just softened, about 1 minute. Add the garlic, green onions and mushrooms, fry 30 seconds. Last add in the spinach. Mix to combine.  Dump mixture into a bowl.  Add the soy sauce/sugar mixture and the noodles into the wok on high heat.  Fry 3-4 minutes until the noodles are cooked through.  Dump veggies into the wok, mix well to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Taste. Turn off heat, toss with sesame seeds and the remaining 1 1/2 tsp of sesame oil.
