GLASS NOODLES WITH VEGETABLES AND MEAT (FOR ONE) MAKES 1 SERVING TIME ABOUT 1 HOUR Classic Korean japchae is seen more often in restaurants than homes, but it’s easy to make. Since the noodles are best at room temperature, you can make the components up to an hour in advance. Substitute peeled shrimp, salmon fillets, or boneless chicken thighs for the meat, or use tofu slices for a vegetarian version.
