Recipes Main Courses Side Dishes
The fresh, lemony heat of ginger brings new life to classic Japchae. This version is particularly refreshing; the ginger 'cuts' through the richness of the soy sauce and oil, making the dish feel lighter and more vibrant. In Korean cuisine, ginger is often used for its digestive benefits too, so this dish not only tastes good but comforts the stomach.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use ground ginger?
Ideally not. The essential oils and heat of fresh ginger are key; the powder's flavour is too dull for this.
I don't like biting into ginger.
Then grate the ginger and just squeeze the juice into the sauce, or chop it very finely.
