I am a great lover of international cuisine. But there are a few dishes that top the rest, and for me, one of those is a Korean noodle dish called jap chae. I am embarrassed to say that back in the day when I had a job that required me to work late (and allowed me to order in my dinner and expense the client for it) I had jap chae from my favorite Korean restaurant a few times every week. 
I really like it that much. Since I left the world of long hours and expensed dinners, I have been missing the jap chae in my life--but no longer!
Last week I made a detour through Koreatown and, after much searching in the Korean grocery, finally found the sweet potato noodles I needed to make jap chae for myself at home. And last night I did it! And it was fantastic! And easy! This is a life-changing development, no question about it. Now I just need to learn to make kimchi, and I will be all set for an at-home Korean feast.

For a second there, while having dinner, I that we were in Seoul. Nice job! You'll have to make it again when Naisohn comes to visit.
that looks so professional and delicious! We want the recipe! Or a dinner invite!
Chi is jap chae?
You like Korean food...no way!
How did this thing know my name? I didn't tell it anything. That Korean food looks really tasty. You have many nice photos here. The fireworks came out very well too.
Jap Chae ay? I don't know if your photo does it true justice, but it looks kinda delicious. ☺
