I don't remember when I first tasted Japchae/Chapchae, but I liked it immediately. I've always, since, wanted to try making some at home but I'm never at a Korean grocery. Anyway, I finally got round to visiting one and got myself some glass noodles. I was worried it would turn bad, because I have no experience with it, but as it happens it's absolutely simple to make. More like add this and add that --- then I was done, was quite pleased with myself.
My only regret was not using enough veggies. I think it would be better if I did and if I used beef slices, rather than ground beef --- but I only did because it was what I had in the freezer. Still, it tasted good, so there's no reason to complain. Haha!
