Jap Chae (Korean style noodles)

These clear glass noodles are made from sweet potatoes and can be purchased from Korean or Asian Grocery stores. All ingredients may be cooked separately and take time to make. I made this easy and quick version...and tasty, too.
You may choose any kinds of meat as you like, or just meatless. I used the store bought grilled chicken, or leftover meat from last night dinner. I didn't measure all seasonings exactly with the measurement...just add to the taste as you desire. They taste better when serve warm.

Simple ingredients:
  • 1 small bag Korean glass noodles ( made from sweet potato or beans)
  • 1 bunch of fresh spinach
  • 1 sweet yellow onion, sliced
  • 1-2 cups cooked chicken (or other meat)
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1 cup thinly sliced Shitake mushrooms (or other kind of mushrooms)
  • 3 Tbsp. light soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. dark soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • other seasonings to add to your taste: salt, ground pepper, garlic powder, sugar, crushed chill pepper, sesame seeds.
Easy to make:
  1. Cook the noodles over boiling water in a large pot as directions on the package. When the noodles turn soft and cooked, add spinach. Once spinach turn soft, drain and don't rinse with cold water. Place drained noddles and spinach in a large mixing bowl, mix in soy sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. In a wok, heat 1 Tbsp. cooking oil on high. Add onion, chicken, carrot, and mushrooms, stir-fry until just cooked. Sprinkle salt and ground pepper. Remove from the heat and pour over the noddles.
  3. Add sugar and garlic powder, stir and mix all ingredients together until well blend. You may add more seasonings to your taste. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and serve.
