Chapchae

By Birgitta

Anne: I love the bite of the noodles, made from sweet potato starch - they were easily found at the Asian supermarket I went to, and they're really what's essential for this dish. I think you can pretty much free-style it from there, to adapt this to your own favorite noodle dish. I didn't stray very far this time, but will definitely add some more flavors next time - maybe some garlic and ginger...
