Dog, what are you doing? Get away from there.
You don't even have thumbs.
I've made maangchi's japchae about four or five times and can testify that it's pretty good. The leftovers hold up okay; there's a lot of water that leeches out overnight and gathers at the bottom, but I just pour it out. Doesn't seem to affect the taste at all.

^^ Love me some oisobagi. Unfortunately, the one container I bought from the super nice Korean couple who own the Asian food store nearby was super mushy. :( Is it supposed to be that way? I like my kim chi crunchy.

I'd wondered about some words like ramyeon and manwah, and of course it makes sense they'd target Japanese loanwords. Thanks for that, I'm going to try to find some things to read.

Speaking of things Korea borrowed from its neighbors :haw:, I'm going to try Simon & Martina's delivery-style jjajangmyeon. We love Marja Vongerichten's but sometimes (often) I don't want to prep & blanch a bunch of stuff.
It's kinda funny because the word ramen itself is derived from la mien, which is why it's always in katakana. Blew my mind when I found out for the first time, like, five months ago.
