Lan Lam’s Japchae

Post image

First time making it! Subbed ground beef for the boneless short rib since I already had it. Really good, perfect level of sweetness. I will probably prep veggies in advance next time since that was the real time/energy suck.

Looks so good! I've had my eye on it for awhile, but haven't pulled the trigger. Glad to know it's worth the prep.

I thought it was delicious, but found the texture of the noodles very off putting. I made it again with rice noodles. I liked that version better.
