Funchoza


Funchoza or salat funchoza is a dish in Koryo-saram cuisine. It is variant of the Korean dish japchae, created by the Koryo-saram: a group of the Korean diaspora of the former Soviet Union.
The dish, along with Korean and Koryo-saram cuisine in general, has achieved popularity in Uzbekistan, where there is a relatively high concentration of Koryo-saram.

Description

Like with japchae, cooked cellophane noodles form the base of the dish, although unlike japchae, funchoza is consistently expected to be served at room temperature or cold. The recipe is relatively flexible otherwise; various other vegetables, seasonings, and optionally meats can be mixed in with the cooled noodles. Popular seasonings include soy sauce and sesame oil.
