Korean-style funchoza with vegetables

Cookinero 4 March 2025

Korean-style funchoza salad is an Asian dish with famous "glass" noodles. It is made from mung bean starch. Funchoza, like pasta, can be bought in the store. Cooking noodles at home with a step-by-step recipe is not at all troublesome. When preparing funchoza with Korean-style vegetables, the noodles do not need to be boiled. It is enough to simply pour boiling water over them. The Korean dish is traditionally spicy, since spices and soy sauce are added to it.
