Easy Quick and Low Fat Gluten free Noodles. Now who doesn’t want that?!
Japchae is a Korean Stir fry noodles and an easy way to get all your tasty, crunchy veggies in! This is a gluten free dish and can easily be vegan simply by eliminating the eggs! I like making a vegetarian dish but you can also add strips of thinly cut beef/chicken to add more protein! You need to up your vegetable game? Yes please! Then add all the crunchy vegetables such as capsicum, snow peas, broccoli and even lots of other green leafy ones such as bokchoy and spinach!
This dish is so festive because you can actually see how colorful and inviting this can be!
Some people gets a bit apprehensive when they see stir fry and also a korean dish! Stay with me and see how easy and convenient this can be! This is a great dish to bring at any pot luck parties because this can be vegan (omit the egg!), dairy free and gluten free!

Ingredients
- 150gms sweet potato noodles
- 1 bunch of spinach
- 1 1/2 tablespoons oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced

- 5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar/honey
Instructions
Cook the sweet potato noodles in a large pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes – keep the water for the spinach. Drain and blanch in cold water to stop it from cooking. You can the noodles with scissors as it’s usually very long!
Blanch the spinach and drain it by squeezing it with your hands. Set aside
Heat up the oil in a skillet or wok and add the garlic, onion, mushroom, and carrot and cook for about two minutes. Add the scallion and capiscum and stir-fry for another minute. Turn the heat to low and add the noodles and spinach into the skillet or wok, follow by the sesame oil, the Sauce, and salt to taste. Stir to combine well. Dish out, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, and served at room temperature.
I like adding scrambled egg with this too!
