Instructions

1
Cook glass noodles in boiling water for 6 minutes until transparent and tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, and cut into 6-inch lengths with scissors. Toss immediately with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil to prevent sticking.
2
Blanch spinach in boiling water 30 seconds, squeeze out all liquid, and season with a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Sauté each vegetable (carrot, onion, mushrooms) separately in a little oil with garlic and a pinch of salt until just tender.
3
Sauté marinated beef over high heat until cooked through and caramelized, about 3 minutes.
4
Combine remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar in a large bowl. Add noodles, all cooked vegetables, and beef. Toss thoroughly — use your hands for the best result, coating every strand of noodle with the seasoning.
5
Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with thin egg strips (if using), sesame seeds, and green onion. Japchae can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold. The noodles are naturally gluten-free.
