Description

Directions

• Combine the beef with the marinade ingredients and set aside.
• Soak the noodles in cold water for a few minutes, then cook in plenty of boiling water for 5 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain well. Cut the noodles into 10–15 cm lengths approximately. Mix with the soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil.
• Stir-fry the onion in a little oil with a pinch of salt. Scoop onto a plate and repeat with the carrot, then the capsicum, then the shiitake mushrooms.
• Beat the egg yolk and white separately and fry as 2 thin omelettes. Cut into strips and place in a bowl.
• Stir-fry the beef and add to the plate of vegetables.
• Stir-fry the noodles for a couple of minutes and put into a large mixing bowl. Toss with the meat and vegetables. Add more soy sauce, sugar or sesame oil to taste. Serve garnished with the sliced egg.
• VariationInstead of green capsicum, use green beans or English spinach lightly blanched and stir-fried. Several kinds of mushrooms can also be used to make "mushroom japchae".
