How to make Vegetarian Japchae (Korean Sweet Potato Noodles)


Japchae, a traditional Korean dish of sweet potato cellophane noodles mixed with vegetables usually includes beef. For non-beef eaters, here's my tofu version, which surprisingly came out pretty good. If you want to stay true to the beef version, you can follow this recipe, substituting tofu for any meat you'd like. Enjoy!
