Introducing a healthy Japchae recipe from Koutentetsu Kitchen, featuring pork and konjac noodles. By dry-frying the konjac, which typically doesn't absorb flavors well, we ensure it soaks up the seasoning, resulting in a fragrant and quick dish that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Konjac noodles (shirataki) 1 bag
  • Pork belly slices 120g
  • Garlic chives 3-4 stalks
  • Carrot 1/3
  • Onion 1/4

Seasonings

  • Sesame oil 1 tbsp
  • White sesame seeds 1 tbsp
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Soy sauce 2 tbsp
  • Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • Sugar 1 tbsp
  • Grated garlic 1/2 clove
  • Grated ginger 1/2 clove

Steps

  1. Thinly slice 1/3 carrot diagonally, then cut into thin strips.
  2. Thinly slice 1/4 onion along the grain.
  3. Trim the ends of 3-4 stalks of garlic chives and chop them into your preferred size.
  4. Dry-fry 1 bag of konjac noodles in a frying pan until the moisture evaporates. (This is the key!) Dry-frying the konjac noodles makes them absorb seasonings better.
  5. Remove the dry-fried konjac noodles from the frying pan.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp of sesame oil in the frying pan and stir-fry 1/4 onion and 1/3 carrot.
  7. Season the pork belly slices with a pinch of salt and add to the frying pan. Stir-fry until the color changes.
  8. Once the vegetables and pork are softened, return the dry-fried konjac noodles to the frying pan.
  9. Add 1 tbsp of sugar, 1/2 clove of grated garlic, and 1/2 clove of grated ginger and stir-fry.
  10. Add 2 tbsp of soy sauce and 1 tbsp of Cooking Sake (Rice Wine). Stir-fry to ensure the konjac noodles are thoroughly seasoned.
  11. Finally, add 3-4 stalks of garlic chives and stir-fry briefly until they are wilted.
  12. Add 1 tbsp of white sesame seeds, mix everything together, and it's done.
