Jap chae (잡채), meaning ‘mixed vegetables’, is a really popular dish that is often seen in Korean dramas, where Korean actors and actresses either slurp up the noodles with their long metal chopsticks or put a handful of vegetables directly into their mouths after mixing the dish with their plastic-gloved hands.
This bowl of sesame noodles is a really simple dish to make. If you are a noodle person and you don’t mind cold dishes, this dish will satisfy your hunger very easily, what with its sesame fragrance and savoury flavours.
A nice meal to have on a really busy weekend – one full of carbo and energy to freshen up and prepare for a new, busy week ahead. 🙂
I had wanted to bake a cake for the guy’s birthday, but due to time constraints, I thought a cake that does not need baking would be a great idea. Hence the decision to make a cheesecake, and a mango one at that. Sadly, it didn’t turn out quite as good as I was hoping it would be (refer to my disclaimers below for reasons), but I’m not giving it up forever. Gonna try again next time when there’s another chance!
Given the many varieties of vegetables (celery, cabbage, spinach etc) and fish (threadfin, mackerel, batam fish etc), it is actually not difficult to cook up a dish of stir-fry with fish and vegetables, given the many combinations available. What one needs, of course, would be the freshest fish on offer in the market and the rest would be easy.
