Is Japchae Hot or Cold?
It can be served either way! Personally, I enjoy it at room temperature over rice. If it’s cold, you may have an oily film in your mouth. Both ways are still delicious.
What Does Japchae Taste Like?
The umami dish has a bit of nuttiness from the sesame seed. It’s a bit salty, sweet, and savory.
Is Japchae Made of Sweet Potato?
Yup! It’s a mix of water and sweet potato starch. When cooked, the noodles have an opaque color, slightly transparent. Hence the name “glass noodles”
