I seriously can't stop eating Dangmyeon which are clear Korean noodles made out of sweet potato starch. They come in different colors. I like the purple ones that are made with purple sweet potatoes. I love both the way they look and the texture. They are so delicious and cheap that I eat them with just about every meal I make at home. They are also gluten free.
Japchae is a dish made with those noodles, sesame oil and sauteed vegtables. The combination is fantastic. We always get it when we go to Korea House @ 402 Evans St in Williamsville, NY.
I decided to look up more info on how the noodles are actually made when I came across this blog post where a woman describes her love for the dish as well that I found quite entertaining.
I love how pretty it is. There, I said it. Japchae is very attractive. I am attracted to japchae. I have a crush on japchae. I want to go on a date and pay significantly more attention to my noodles than the dude. I feel like there's someone out there who might actually be turned on by that.
They remind me so much of the mung bean cellophane noodles I buy from china but those ones started to freak me out after I read about some contamination issues with manufacturers trying to cut costs using corn starch and introducing cancerous chemicals. It makes me want to buy less chinese products
