Maangchi, I made this tonight after being so curious about this that I decided to go to my local Asian market and bought everything. IT'S SO DELICIOUS, AND SO QUICK. I haven't ever been as excited about a new recipe as I was for this one. I made this while I watched this video, and it was like having you right in my own kitchen. I smiled the entire time. I can't wait to make this for my boyfriend.

[@Maangchi]

[@craigb.franklin7046]

I love this lady. I was stationed in Korea for 3 years in the navy. Wonderful friends and experiences. What I missed most when I returned to the states was the food. The restaurants were rather pricey for what I like and then I found Maangchi on KZbin. What a relief! I have learned soooo much from her. I make all of my korean dishes now. My Korean friends still keep in touch and call me and can't wait to visit and taste my food. Those are the real critics!

[@Maangchi]

I'm so happy to hear that my recipes are helpful! It's very impressive that your Korean friends love your Korean cooking! 👍

[@craigb.franklin7046]

@@Maangchi I also have your cookbook. That will help. :-)

[@MixkKazushi]

That's actually how I've been making jabchae for years, ever since a Korean colleague I've met in NY told me about this technique of soaking the noodles first and cooking everything in one pan. The noodles don't stick as much when you pre-soak them. It's even easier if when you make a vegan version you don't need to cook the omelet or the meat beforehand 👍

Try to add some marinated fried tofu instead of the meat, just like she did with the meat - but just replace with tofu - it is so amazing 🤤.

Ahhhh~~~ so awesome! I am a high school teacher who teaches Korean and Choir, and this past week Monday and Thursday I took 60-70 students each day to a cultural field trip in K-Town. One of our destinations was an all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurant that included a buffet and my group of mostly non Korean students really liked the japchae so yesterday I showed my classes your previous japchae recipe video. How funny that I would get a present 🎁 of an easier version recipe upload from you today! All my students already know you because I introduce you to my classes as my favorite Korean food KZbinr right from the beginning of the school year. 😘 I will show them this version on Monday when I get back to school. Gonna make you my best friend one day! 😍❤️😆

I truly is hooked by your personality in front of camera but most importantly, you shared the myth of Korean cooking and secret techniques.

@@Maangchi Hello Maangchi, Unfortunately I don't have an Korean store in my vicinity. I usually rely on the international aisle in my local grocery store to buy the necessary ingredients for Korean meals.
