Use pork or chicken. Japchae is delicious even without using meat.

Maangchi, I don’t really eat beef, can I use any other type of meat to make this instead? Pork Belly? Chicken??

I’m so glad you had a great time here in Mexico! Specially in Oaxaca since botn of my grandparents (from my mothers side) are from there, and you tried Mezcal! I hope you can come back to eat some of those tacos :)
Well, my mom and I got around making this recipe and we totally loved it! I think we still have to work on the amount of soy and sesame oil, but it tasted super great, and mom also loved it! Thankyou so much for the recipe and video, my mom doesn’t speak english, but with your video she understood everything, and I just help her translating some things (I’m 25 by the way and loving Korean food) We are making this again one day, and we are also gonna try something else like the bibimbap and some chicken dishes.
Anyway thank you sooooo much again, and lastly I’m leaving a pic of our first try at japchae! http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b215/darkdirtyalfa/120202_160201.jpg (we added some sweet pepper)

I’ve heard that glass noodles can be used to make Japchae. Are glass noodles like the equivalent of the starch noodles and can they be used for this dish?
