Yummy Korean-Style Glass Noodles (Japchae)
My simple version of Korean-style japchae isn't traditional, but the slippery-sweet noodles are flavorful and satisfying! Serve as a starter or pair with meat as a main.
Japanese Restaurant Cucumber Salad
Simple and easy to make, with a sweet and spicy dressing that adds a refreshing bite. This recipe comes from a lovely, now-elderly Japanese woman friend who was a second-generation immigrant and patiently endured internment during WWII as a young girl. The cucumber salad is similar to sunomo in Japanese restaurants, but a bit more assertive. The ingredients are available in the Asian or ethnic foods sections of most metropolitan grocery stores. If you're diabetic, use sugar substitute instead of sugar with the same results. Original recipe called for 1 teaspoon MSG also.
