Japchae, a popular Korean dish, traditionally features glass noodles made from sweet potato starch. However, for those seeking a gluten-free option, sweet potato noodles are a fantastic alternative. These translucent, chewy noodles are a key component of this savory and slightly sweet dish. Originating in the Joseon Dynasty, Japchae has evolved over the centuries, with each region in Korea adding its own unique twist. Today, renowned chefs like Judy Joo and David Chang have put their own modern spin on this classic dish. For an authentic experience, visit Seoul's Gwangjang Market, where vendors serve up some of the best Japchae in the country. Whether you're using traditional glass noodles or gluten-free sweet potato noodles, the key to a delicious Japchae lies in the perfect balance of flavors and textures, including the marinated beef, colorful vegetables, and the rich, umami-laden sauce.
