Noodle 6: Round 2

For the first post about this noodle, click here . To use up the remaining noodles from this package, I decided to make a japchae-inspired dish. Ingredients: 2 medium carrots, julienned 1/2 medium white onion, cut into strips 6 green onions, chopped into 2 inch strands 3 cloves garlic 1/2 pound chicken thighs cut thin Vermicelli noodles Sauce ingredients, to taste: Soy sauce Sesame oil Brown sugar The vegetable cutting took most of the preparation time. I bought the chicken pre-cut. Cook noodles in boiling water. When done, drain and rinse with cold water. Saute carrots and onions in frying pan with vegetable oil until soft.

Noodle 6: Asian Taste Sweet Potato Vermicelli

Type: dried Size: 10.6 oz. Price: $2.39 Price per oz.: $0.22 Broth: Chicken broth Onion soup mix Vegetables: Baby cabbage Spinach Assorted mushrooms Meat: Assorted fish balls (fried, milk, plain) Fish cakes Thanksgiving hot pot! The package of these noodles says "Sweet potato threads for hot pot," so we did hot pot! We used our Instant Pot as the hot pot. It worked very well. We put a noodle strainer into the pot to make it easier to get the noodles out once they were cooked. The broth was two cartons chicken broth and a packet of onion soup mix then enough water to fill the pot. In the future, I'd like to use fresh onion. Otherwise, it was very good. For dipping sauces, I used Lao Gan Ma spicy chili crisp and soy sauce with sesame oil. Everything was delicious! I have more noodles left, so I will try something else with them.
