Instead of having a traditional Christmas dinner, I once made some Korean dishes for a little change. Ever since the savory Korean noodle dish was introduced, I often get calls for Korean foods for special occasions.<\/p>\n<p>\uc7a1\ucc44 is a traditional Korean noodle dish, which is made of \ub2f9\uba74 (dang-myeon: sweet potato starch noodles), \ubcf6\uc740 \uc57c\ucc44 ( bok-eun-yah-chae: stir fried vegetables) and \uace0\uae30 (go-gi: meat). Most Koreans enjoy \uc7a1\ucc44 on \uba85\uc808 (myeon-jeol: holiday) or for a \uc0dd\uc77c\ub0a0 (sang-il-nal: birthday party) because the dish can satisfy most people\u2019s appetites. Jap Chae recipes can be vary depending on personal preferences or the origins of regions, but I focus on using colorful vegetables to make this dish. Today, I am going to share my own recipe, which is simple and easy. If you want to surprise your family this holiday season, I suggest that you try this Korean dish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6452\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone post-item__attachment\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6452\" class=\"wp-image-6452 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/12\/DSCN2136-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/12\/DSCN2136-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/12\/DSCN2136-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/12\/DSCN2136-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/12\/DSCN2136-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/12\/DSCN2136-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/12\/DSCN2136-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Voila!
