Korean Sweet Potato Noodles with Beef

written by Emma Tang

Korean Sweet Potato Noodles with BeefI am excited to share the recipe for a Korean sweet potato noodles with beef (Japchae) this time. 

Besides bimbimbap and kimchi jigae, stir-fried Korean sweet potato noodles with beef is another go-to dish of mine when I eat at a Korean restaurant. 

With the right ingredients and some common Asian seasonings, it is really easy to make this dish at home actually. Here’s how.

Marinated Beef and Shiitake MushroomTo start, I marinated the beef and shiitake mushrooms (hydrated) with sugar, black pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil for 10 to 15 minutes to get the flavor into the meat and mushroom.

Sweet Potato Noodle and SpinachWhile waiting, I cooked the spinach and sweet potato noodles and gave them a quick rinse in cold water afterwards. Rinsing in water helps to wash way the residual starch from the noodles and keep them from clumping together and getting mushy.

Sauteed Beef and Shiitake MushroomNow, all that’s left is to sauté the meat and vegetables. Once everything is cooked, I transferred them into a mixing bowl and season with more soy sauce, sugar, black pepper and sesame oil.

  3. Use the same pot of water, bring it back to boil, cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes with a lid on until cooked through, stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
