"Japchae is a light Korean dish made with stir-fried vegetables and noodles. I add a mix of several types of mushrooms and a little kale to make it more filling and nutritious. Traditionally, this dish is made with starchy noodles, but you can easily substitute angel hair pasta," shares Giada De Laurentiis.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Combine sugar, tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Step 2
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and stir to submerge them. Cook until almost tender, 6–8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Use scissors to cut the noodles into 20cm (8 in) pieces. Set aside.
Step 3
• In a large skillet, heat the grapeseed oil over high heat. Add the oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms begin to brown. Add the shallots and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook until fragrant, another 2 minutes.
Step 4
• Add the red pepper, garlic, and green onions to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the peppers begin to soften.
Step 5
• Add the cabbage and noodles and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are coated with oil and the cabbage is wilted. Add the sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
