Analyzing cooking steps...
This recipe is for a small portion. For a larger batch, you might need a separate bowl for seasoning the noodles.
Stir-frying each ingredient separately is key to maintaining its unique color, texture, and flavor.
When stir-frying vegetables, cook them from the lightest color (onion) to the darkest (carrot/pepper) so you don't need to wash the pan between each ingredient.
Japchae is a very popular dish for parties and potlucks in Korea; it always disappears quickly!
The sweet potato starch noodles become translucent and chewy when cooked, which is why they are often called 'glass noodles'.
