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 think it could have used more vegetables.

I thought the chapchae was a bit too oily. I think I'll use less oil next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think next time I'll use less gochujang.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chapchae turned out really bland. The sauce was watery and the noodles were overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
