Glass Noodle Stir Fry (also known as Japchae of Chop Chae)
One
of my favorite dinners, Glass Noodle Stir Fry, often called japchae or
chop chae in restaurants, has its origins in Korea and is a great,
hearty, veggie-rich meal you can make quickly and inexpensively. If
glass noodles aren’t your thing, feel free to substitute with rice
noodles or soba for a less authentic but still delicious meal.

Glass Noodle Stir Fry
8.8 ounces glass noodles (also known as cellophane or bean thread noodles)
1 tablespoon sesame oil, divided
1 lb. super-firm or pressed tofu, cubed
4 tablespoons low-sodium tamari, divided
1 bunch scallions, sliced, dark green tops minced and reserved
5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 cups carrots, peeled and julienned
1 red bell pepper, julienned
2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar
Sesame seeds for top
Heat
a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Heat ˝ tablespoon sesame
oil for a minute, then add the tofu so it is all flat on the bottom of
the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of tamari, and sauté until browned on all
sides, about six minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan, leaving the
heat on.
Add ˝ tablespoon sesame oil. Add the scallions (not the reserved tops),
shiitakes and 1 tablespoon of tamari. Sauté for three minutes. Add the
garlic, bell peppers, carrots and sauté for four minutes, until
softened. If the skillet or wok is big enough, combine the prepared
noodles and veggies in there. Otherwise, switch to a large bowl, also
adding the tofu, two additional tablespoons of tamari and two
tablespoons of rice vinegar. Mix gently until everything is mixed
through.
Serve warm with a sprinkling of reserved green scallion tops and sesame seeds.
