Japchae (잡채) is a popular Korean noodle dish made with sweet potato starch noodles (dangmyeon) that are stir-fried with a mix of vegetables, protein, and a savory-sweet soy sauce-based seasoning. The noodles are known for their chewy, slightly springy texture, which perfectly complements the dish’s vibrant flavors.

The name “japchae” translates to “mixed vegetables,” reflecting the harmony of ingredients that come together in this versatile dish. It’s often enjoyed during festive occasions like weddings, birthdays, and Korean holidays, symbolizing abundance and joy.
