Funchoza (Russian: фунчоза; Korean푼초자) or salat funchoza (салат фунчоза; 살라트 푼초자; lit. cellophane noodle salad) 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.[1]

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.[1]

Description

[edit]

Like with japchae, cooked cellophane noodles (당면) form the base of the dish,[2] although unlike japchae, funchoza is consistently expected to be served at room temperature or cold.[1][2] 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.[2]
