Jipsiki
Jipsiki is a traditional Korean dish primarily made from dried sweet potato starch noodles, known as *dangmyeon*, stir-fried with various vegetables and often meat. The name "jipsiki" itself is believed to derive from the Korean word for "straw" or "stalk," alluding to the shape of the noodles. The dish is a popular staple in Korean cuisine, often served as a side dish or a main course, and is particularly well-known during festive occasions and holidays.
The preparation of jipsiki typically involves rehydrating the dried sweet potato noodles and then stir-frying them
