I love this Korean dish! It tastes wonderful and the presentation is a true work of art!
The first time I made Jab Chea I used regular soy sauce, and even though it was way too salty, the colors, flavors and textures worked so beautifully together. I knew I had to make it again, but with reduced sodium soy sauce!
Last weekend we celebrated our daugher Deborah's birthday, with Jab Chea as the main dish, a fresh garden salad, homemade whole wheat 5-grain bread, and Arizona Sunshine Pie for dessert! We all had such a good time enjoying each others company over a table filled with great food!
In my recipe I "beefed" up the amount of top sirloin, "super veggied" the amount of vegetables, and we have heartier version on Jab Chea ~ Korean Beef, Veggies and Noodles! Make sure to buy a large bottle of low sodium soy sauce . . . You will use 2 1/2 cups in this dish.
