Steps to make Korean Glass Noodles (chapjae or jabcha):
  1. Soak dried shiitake mushrooms according to package instructions.
  2. When mushrooms are soft, drain
  3. In a small bowl, add drained shiitake mushrooms
  4. Cut meat to bite sized pieces
  5. Add to mushroon bowl
  6. Clean and chop garlic, add to meat bowl
  7. Add rest of meat ingredients to bowl, mix, cover, set aside
  8. Break egg into small bowl, mix it up with a pinch of salt
  9. Set a skillet on medium heat. When it is hot, turn off heat. Put egg into skillet in a thin pancake
  10. Cook about 30 seconds, flip, cook 30 seconds, remove, set aside
  11. Wash, clean, trim, spinach, thaw if frozen
  12. Cook or blanch spinach until just wilted, or use frozen spinach. Remove water by squeezing.
  13. Take your cooled spinach, cut it in half, then across that into thirds, makes it easier to mix, eat, etc.
  14. Using a large bowl, this will be the final bowl everything ends up in, put spinach in, add a splash of soy sauce and sesame oil, say a teaspoon of each, mix
  15. I like to mix the bowl contents as I go along, I think it is easier and results in a well mixed end product.
  16. Chop green onions, if the whites are large, split in half lengthwise, cut about 1 1/2 inches long
  17. Finely slice onion, break apart rings. I like to make 1/8 inch slices, then quarter those
  18. Add oil to skillet as needed for each step, typically doesn't take much, add onions on medium heat. Pinch of salt.
  19. Cook onions until just translucent. Grind of black pepper.
  20. Add to bowl with spinach. Mix in.
  21. Cut carrots into match sticks. Hopefully you are better at it than I am.
  22. Now, I am not fan of Bell peppers, so I chose to use Anaheims instead, another very mild pepper.
  23. Cut Bell pepper into match sticks.
  24. Add carrots to skillet on medium heat. Pinch of salt. Cook about 2 minutes.
  25. Add Bell pepper to carrots, pinch of salt, cook until done to your liking. Topically 3-6 minutes. Add to bowl.
  26. These are the noodles I am using this time
  27. This is what they look like dried
  28. Cook noodles about this time, depending on the noodles you are using. Rinse and add splash of sesame oil and soy sauce. I like to take scissors to them to cut them in half at this point. Mix, add to bowl.
  29. Slice button mushrooms, add to skillet. Typically cook until browned. Add a pinch of salt, grind of pepper. Add to bowl when done. Mix.
  30. Add meat to skillet, cook until just done. Add to bowl. Mix.
  31. Add sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. About 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  32. Fold egg "pancake" in half, thinly sliced across into ribbons. Add to bowl, mix in.
  33. Typically this is a "room temperature" dish. So if you were concerned about keeping it warm, don't bother.
  34. Garnish with sesame seeds. Serve
