Cellophane Noodles(잡채)

 

It is called 'jarp-chae' in Korean, which means a mixture of stripes of vegetables, beef and egg. This noodle dish is famous for the mild flavour and the beautiful color in and outside Korea.

Stir fry the cut carrots, onions and the marinated beef stripes and set aside. In bowls seperate the egg white yolk and whisk. Pan fry seperately and cut in stripes after cooled down.

Tips
- Cellophane noodles are also known as Chinese vermicelli, crystal noodles or glass noodles.
- I sometimes put some seasoned soybean sprouts and it tastes nice and crispy.
- You can try it with any noodles such as sphagetti, penne. Wouldn't recomend thin noodles such as somen, thin rice noodles, though as it is hard to keep the shape of the noodles while mixing.
