VEGETABLE MIXED NOODLES/YACHAE GOOKSU
Vegetable mixed noodles is another one of my favorite from this Korean week. I like how Korean incorporate a lot of vegetables in their dishes. Healthy and yet giving you that sense of satisfaction when you are done.This recipe doesn’t use any meat, but as you perhaps already know that we can hardly survive without animal protein most of the days. So, I added the bulgogi to this dish.

The noodles used in this recipe is called somen noodles. They are very thin Japanese noodles made of wheat flour. In terms of look, it is very similar too mee sua. I think somen noodles hold up better compare to mee sua after being cooked. It is very easy to overcook mee sua and not with somen (unless you really boil it beyond its recommended cooking time).
SOMEN NOODLES

This dish can be served chilled or at room temperature. I like both. You can always substitute the vegetable with the one you like. I just happened to like any kind of vegetables (I hope my daughter will be too). Try it and I believe you will like it.

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water, then add the somen and cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse under cold water. Drain well and divided noodles among 4 serving bowls
  • Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and carrots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and a little more oil if needed. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is just slightly browned. Turn off the heat, add the green onions, and toss

Marv's Recipe Notes

VARIATONS: If you're feeling more adventurous, experiment with other vegetables. Mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, and sprouts work well
