Funchoza (glass noodles) with vegetables in Korean

6 servings

20 minutes

Korean-style vegetable funchoza is a dish that embodies all the best traits of Asian cuisine. The light, tender, and slightly elastic glass noodles pair perfectly with crunchy vegetables and aromatic spices. In Korea, such dishes are prepared in hot weather when one craves something fresh and nutritious but not heavy. The vegetables retain their juiciness and vibrant flavor while the soy meat adds interesting texture and nutrition. Dressed with soy sauce infused with hints of lemon and paprika, funchoza acquires a rich yet balanced taste – sweet, spicy, and savory at the same time. It is an ideal dish for both a weekday dinner and a festive table. It is especially good when chilled as all the aromas fully unfold to create a harmony of flavors.
