Notes: The savory plate of Jap Chae leaves a pleasing aromatic scent in the air. Smokey steam can be seen when Jap Chae is served on the spot, but regardless of the presence of the steam, its signature clear brownish noodles leaves a heavenly flavor in any person's taste buds. When the cook is making this extravagant dish, they should be in a moderate to pleasant mood, otherwise, the dish may taste a bit bitter. Despite weather conditions, the delicate taste of Jap Chae cannot be challenged by any circumstances.
