    Korean Japchae (Shirataki Noodles with Vegetables)

    Published: Jan 17, 2020 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    This Korean Japchae recipe is a slightly adventurous spin on fried rice. It marries slurpy shirataki noodles and a blizzard of vegetables in a rich soy and mirin broth. This dish is easy to make, kid-friendly, and restorative to eat whether served hot or cold. Recipe and photo by Ellen Kanner.

    Korean Japchae (Shirataki Noodles with Vegetables)

    Serves: 3 to 4

    Ingredients

    • 3 tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 tbsp mirin
    • 2 tbsp sesame oil, divided
    • 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
    • 8 oz shirataki noodles, rinsed and drained
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 3 carrots, chopped into matchsticks
    • 1 red pepper, chopped
    • 2 ribs celery, chopped
    • 3 cups napa cabbage, shredded
    • 1 bunch scallions, chopped fine
    • 8 oz shiitakes, sliced
    • 4 oz tofu, cut into bite-sized cubes
    • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

    Instructions

    1. Parboil shirataki according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
    2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy, mirin, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and minced ginger. Add the shirataki and toss to coat. Set aside.
    3. Heat a large dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, carrots, pepper, and celery. Cook, stirring for about 3 minutes or until vegetables start to soften. Add one tablespoon of soy-mirin mixture to flavor and moisten and continue cooking.
    4. Add the scallions, shiitakes, and cabbage. Cook another 3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add the tofu and gently mix in the noodles and all remaining sauce.
    5. Drizzle remaining sesame oil on top and mix again. Divide into bowls and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
