How to cook Korean Sweet Potato Noodles
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Season the water with a few drizzles of olive oil and pinch of salt. Add the Korean Sweet Potato Noodles (AKA Japchae or Dangmyeon) and boil them for about 6-7 minutes or until the noodles turn translucent color with bouncy noodle texture but not mushy. Stir often.
- Drain and rinse them in cold water until cool to touch. Let the noodles sit in a colander to drain water for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Dump the noodles into a large serving bowl. If the noodles are too long, use a scissor to cut them into 6-8 inches in length. Drizzle with more olive oil or toasted sesame oil, toss the noodles so they won’t stick to each other.

Ingredients
- 250 gram 8.8 oz Korean Sweet Potato Noodles (AKA dangmyeon),
- 227 gram 8 oz. Broccolini, Broccoli, or Chinese Gai Lan (optional), halved
- 2.5 cups Chicken and Cabbage Stir-Fry , see notes
- 2 to 4 tbsp chicken or vegetable broth
- Toasted white sesame seeds toasted sesame oil (garnish, optional)
Stir-Fry Sauce: (please see notes section first!)
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tsp aged balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Boil Korean sweet potato noodles and set them aside to drain (see notes section). If adding broccolini, hot water blanch them for a few minutes until they turn deep green color with crunchy texture and not mushy. Rinse in cold water and set aside to drain.
- In a large well-heated skillet, add 1 tbsp cooking oil, saute and reheat 2.5 cups chicken and cabbage stir-fry until they are back to room temperature. Add cooked noodles and blanched broccoli. If it feels dry to the skillet, add 1 to 2 tbsp broth a time to help stir-frying the noodles*. Taste test a small bite of the dish then decide if you want to add the “Stir-Fry Sauce”. Give the noodles, chicken, and vegetables a quick toss so the flavor is coated well over each ingredient.
- Serve hot, in room temperature, or slightly chilled. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and 1-2 tsp toasted sesame oil (optional)
Notes
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Season the water with a few drizzles of olive oil and pinch of salt. Add the Korean Sweet Potato Noodles (AKA Dangmyeon) and boil them for about 6-7 minutes or until the noodles turn translucent color with bouncy noodle texture but not mushy. Stir often.
- Drain and rinse them in cold water until cool to touch. Let the noodles sit in a colander to drain water for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Dump the noodles into a large serving bowl.

An absolute favorite recipe on regular rotation in our house! I’m trying to see how I can cut down some prep time – how long do you think that stir fry sauce would stay good in the fridge? I’m hoping to make a bigger batch 🙂
Thanks, Annie. I haven’t tried it yet but I’d say for the sauce maybe use it within 4 days for the freshest flavor?
Made this last night. Our first time cooking with these noodles. Your instructions were perfect and made it easy to follow. We love the flavors and will make this dish again and again.
So happy to hear. Thank you so much.
I’ve had the sweet potato noodles before but never had a recipe to use them with, until now! Love all the ingredients and how the recipe tastes. We used chicken thighs and it was just as good.
I have your cookbook and can’t wait to try more recipes.
Thank you so much, Amber!
