One of my best friends in Korea is a great cook. She made this delicious Japchae recipe for us when we visited. She was nice enough to share it with me! I bought a bag of Japchae noodles from H-mart. It ended up being more than what the recipe called for, so in the end, I had to add some additional sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. You can also sprinkle some sesame seeds on top afterwards.
