Chapchae (Noodles With Beef and Mixed Vegetables) image

From cookinglight. Chapchae is a Korean noodle dish. I think you can substitute the steak with other meats or seafood--it's mostly to add a little meaty flavor. * I use the sweet potato noodles for more authenticity in place of the bean thread noodles (I boil them for 5 minutes then rinse with cold water thoroughly). It takes a while to make this but it's really authentic and flavorful.

The chapchae was good, but I've had better. The noodles were a bit too soft for my liking.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more gochujang next time.

The chapchae was delicious! The only thing I would change is that I would use a little more beef next time. Otherwise, it was perfect.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chapchae turned out great! I used a little less gochujang than the recipe called for, since I don't like things too spicy. It was still very flavorful and delicious.
