You’ll find fresh produce, dried goods, snacks, street-food stalls and even hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
Japchae is basically Korean stir-fried noodles typically made with mixed vegetables, meat and sweet potato glass noodles. My family absolutely loves it, but then again, most Korean families do!
