Korean Fried Noodles (Jap Chae or Chap Chae)

Dalgano - Recipes Korean Korean fried noodles (Chap Chae or Jap Chae) are one of the most popular noodle dishes in Korea and also seem to be the most favored by Westerners. The base of the dish is Korean glass noodles, which can be made with green beans or sweet potatoes.

The name glass noodles come from the fact that Chap Chae noodles turn clear when cooked. They almost look like little glass spirals in a bowl. They can be sold as plastic noodles or Chinese noodles.

This dish works well as a starter or as a main dish for lunch or dinner. Additionally, it can be served hot or cold, depending on the season and personal preference. It is also easy to prepare as a vegetarian dish. Since green bean or sweet potato noodles absorb a lot of flavors, you can combine vegetables or meat as you wish.
