METHOD

250 g sweet potato noodles
(dangmyeon)
7 or 8 dried wood ear mushrooms (mogi-beoseot)


Meat (optional)
150 g sirloin steak
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp brown (or white) sugar
1 tsp sesame oil


Gyeran-jidan egg garnish (optional)
2 eggs
A pinch of salt
1 tsp vegetable oil


Seasoning sauce
4 tbsp cup soy sauce
3 tbsp brown (or white) sugar
0.5 tsp ground black pepper
5 garlic cloves, crushed

Cover the noodles in cold water and soak for at least 40 minutes. At the same time soak the washed wood ear mushrooms in a separate bowl.

Slice the beef into thin strips, cutting across the grain. Mix the soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil in a bowl. Marinate the beef while preparing the egg garnish (at least 15 minutes). Fry the meat in a hot pan.

Whisk the eggs with the salt and strain through a sieve. Heat the oil over a medium heat. Wipe the pan with some kitchen roll and turn the heat down low. Fry the eggs for a couple of minutes, flip the eggs and remove the pan from the heat. Let them cook in the cooling pan for a few minutes and cut into thin ribbons.


Combine the ingredients in a bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves.
