| I made this yesterday, and something tells me that there has got to be something I'm missing. Anyhow, let me know your thoughts.

| The chap chae I've had has been made from a cellaphone mung bean noodle, not a potato noodle. What was the problem that you faced making the dish? |

| Well, that's what my korean friend said it was. Hey, Are you Thai by chance? Gratiem means garlic in Thai, you probably know that anyway. My problem was that it just didn't taste the same as my friend's did. Too bad my friend moved back to China. And, all the other Korean ladies here, don't make it the same.

| I use cellaphane noodles as well for my chap chae. I also marinade the beef for at least 2 hours if not longer. I think the potato noodles that you are referring to are yam noodles from Japan that look very similar to the cellaphane noodles, but are slightly different in taste which could account for the reason this recipe is different from all the rest.It is primarily used for cold dishes and usually never stirfried. Here is my recipe for Chap Chae Chap Chae 8 oz beef 1 t sugar 1T soy sauce 2 t finely chopped spring onions 1 t finely minced garlic 1 t sesame seeds 1/4 t black pepper 1 T sesame oil 4 oz Chinese cabbage cut into thin strips 4 oz carrots julienne stripped 4 oz bamboo shoots finely slices 4 oz onoins finely sliced 2 cucumbers finely sliced 1 bunch spinach cooked and shredded omelette strips 2 oz cellophane noodles soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper to taste Cut beef into paper thin strips and put in a bowl with the next 7 ingredients, Allow to marinade for at least 2 hours. Soak the noodles in hot water for 20 minutes and drain and cut in 3-4" lengths. Stir fry all ingredients seperately until just cooked. Mix together on a large plate, season with soy. sugar . salt an d pepper. Serve very hot. The omelette strips are just eggs seperated and beaten with a fork. Then cook them in a frying pan much like a paper thin crepes cooking one side flipping them over then cooking the other side. Then when all is cooked cut them into strips. So you have egg yolk strips and egg white strips. Hope this helps.
