This food was first made in the 17th century when the Korean Peninsula was ruled by the Joseon Dynasty. When King Gwanghaegun held a large party at the palace, one of the landlord’s nobles served japchae. King Gwanghaegun was so fond of the japchae flavor that the noble was raised to byeongjo panseo (finance minister). At that time, japchae was just vegetables and mushrooms, like cucumber slices, radishes, and shiitake mushrooms. Meanwhile, vermicelli (dang myeon) was added to japchae in the 20th century. Unlike Indonesian vermicelli made from sago starch or palm and midro starch, dang myeon is made from sweet potato flour.
