Jap Chae (Korean noodle dish)

Also spelled as Jap Chae, Chab Chae, Chap Chae.

I have been a bad, bad blogger. I promise to post a lot of recipes this week! I made this for dinner tonight (after having it 3 times in the past week at 2 different Korean restaurants). This Korean noodly dish is sweet and savory, but very light – the noodles I used are yam noodles that are low in calories but high in fiber and nutrients. This is definitely my favorite Korean dish (followed closely by Bi Bim Bap), and I hope you’ll give it a try.

Bobby says: “It was delicious and I loved it. I especially love those noodles.”

Ingredients
7-8 ouce pack of Shirataki noodles
2-3 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 cup sliced carrot
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
3-4 cups chopped kale

1. Boil the Shirataki in 1.5 cups of water for 8-10 minutes. Rinse and drain.
