1) The noodles LOOK like japchae noodles - sorta sticky glass noodles but they are undercooked. Like al dente undercooked. I do not mind the texture so much, but the texture is wrong. Japchae noodles are supposed to be stir-fried and have a squishy chewy texture without being mushy. These noodles are not mushy, which is good, but they do not have that soft, elastic texture typical of a glass noodle.
2) I am amazed that with a sodium count that high that this would be so lacking in flavor. For the record, you do taste a soy sauce based flavor with a hint of sweetness and that sesame oil fragrance. The package instructions say to mix the noodles in the sauce (which settles to the bottom of the package), but there was not much sauce to begin with. They also haven't used enough aromatics. Where is the garlic and green onion?
3) Nothing to write home about the vegetables. They don't taste bad. They also don't taste amazing. They are what they are...reheated frozen vegetables.
4) If homecooked japchae by Maangchi or basically any other ahjumma with a food blog boasts 100% japchae flavor, then this boasts like 20% or 30%. There isn't anything too egregious, besides the improper noodle texture, and it's definitely "japchae-inspired." But it's a weak flavor. Japchae really is not difficult to make as long as you can get your hands on the sweet potato starch noodles. The portion size is abysmal. For $2.99, it's more worth your money to buy a pack of frozen dumplings.
5) Nope not repurchasing.
TL;DR: Trader Joe's Japchae. Convenient, vegan Japchae for people who want a less authentic Japchae flavor. 5 out of 10. Mantou Joe repurchase? Thank you, next.
Where are the mushrooms! What is japchae without meaty shrooms?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised they did not include mushrooms considering they intentionally made this product vegan.
DeleteThanks for the recommendations you have contributed here. Something important I would like to express is that personal computer memory demands generally increase along with other advancements in technology. For instance, when new generations of CPUs are brought to the market, there is usually a similar increase in the dimensions preferences of both the pc memory as well as hard drive room. This is because the software operated by way of these processor chips will inevitably increase in power to make use of the new technology.

ReplyDeleteCatflap installation involves carefully cutting a hole in a door or wall to accommodate the pet door's dimensions. After positioning the catflap, it's secured firmly in place, ensuring stability and insulation. This allows cats to freely enter and exit the house, promoting their independence and reducing the need for constant human intervention. Proper installation ensures a seamless transition for both the feline occupants and their owners, providing convenience and peace of mind.
