Full ingredient guide
Dangmyeon (Korean glass noodles) can also often be found at Go Asia or other Asian markets. While there are also glass noodles commonly used in Chinese cuisine, I usually use brands like "Ottogi" or "Chung Jung One". I also use these glass noodles to make japchae (a Korean glass noodle dish). Additionally, dangmyeon is also available as "cut glass noodles," which makes cooking more convenient. Use them according to your needs and the purpose of your dish.
