Korean Japchae with Glass Noodle and Shiitake

You can cook Korean Japchae easily by using Doubanjiang and Japanese Sukiyaki sauce. If you use Potato noodles instead of green bean noodles, it is just the same as Korean Japchae texture. Also, when you cook at home, you can use Japanese Forest-grown Shiitake that makes it more delicious than eating in Korea.
