Step-by-Step Instructions for Japchae
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, and toasted sesame oil.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the sweet potato glass noodles. Cook until tender and chewy, then drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a skillet, heat cooking oil and pour in beaten eggs, swirling to create an even layer. Cook until set and slice into strips.
- Add oil if necessary and sear thinly sliced beef or pork in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Sauté onions in the skillet for 2-3 minutes, add carrot and mushrooms, then add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Return cooked noodles to the skillet with sautéed vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over and add the meat and egg strips. Toss gently.
- Transfer the Japchae to a serving platter and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes
Rinse cooked noodles in cold water to prevent sticking. Adjust seasoning after adding soy sauce to avoid overpowering flavors.
