A Korean-style noodle dish, made with mixed vegetables, marinated chicken or beef and cellophane noodles, finished with a soy-based sauce.
Korean Mixed Vegetables and Cellophane Noodles
The first time I tasted this dish I fell in love with it.
My neighbor, right across the street from me, was born in Korea. She married a military man and has been living in the states for many years now, but most of her family are still living in Korea. She is such a sweet and delightful person, and I love her to death.
She has the most beautiful yard and is the only person I have ever seen, who can dig around in her garden, putting in new plants, while fully dressed in street clothes, and not break a sweat or get a speck of dirt on her!
You'd understand the significance of that better if you saw what I look like when I dig in the garden.
Trust me. It ain't pretty.
Every once in a while, when she makes this dish, she comes across the street and brings me a plate of it, and even if I've already had dinner, I cannot help but to get into it right away.
I've mentioned several times to her that I would love for her to show me how she does this, but she sort of brushes me off and I think it's because she really enjoys making it and bringing it to me. According to her, her girls don't like it, but she knows I love it!
Every once in a while, in between those visits, I would have a taste for this dish, so I set off trying to recreate it. I can't seem to quite get the sauce right, so while it doesn't taste quite the same as hers, I'll take it as an acceptable substitute, but hey... I'll keep trying and maybe I'll get there one day!
I know the ingredient list and directions look daunting - but don't be afraid! Like any stir fry, I've just separated them into the steps, and really this is like a stir fry dish but with noodles.
- First you marinate the beef or chicken
- Then you reconstitute the bean thread noodles
- Then you stir fry the vegetables
- Add the noodles and put it all together
The bean thread noodles I buy come with 3 bunches in a package. They are unusual looking noodles - sometimes called cellophane or glass noodles, because they are a clear noodle. For this recipe, I use 2 of those bunches, so I'd say do about one bunch per serving.
Just like any other stir fry, get all of your veggies cut up and ready to go before you start cooking them and this will take no time to come together.
