I first had Japchae when I was living in New York. I
thought it was just a Korean version of Chinese stir-fry glass noodles. Later
on, I found out that JapChae uses a different type of noodles made of
potato-starch, while glass-noodles are actually made of green-bean starch.
Mom suggested that I try to cook
radish soup for stomach-cleansing purpose. Perhaps, she is worried of the
well-being of our digestive system after seeing all the food pics we
posted on fb.
