Wolgwachae is a variety of japchae, or mixed vegetable dish, that was part of the Korean royal court cuisine. It is made with zucchini, beef, pyogo (shiitake), chapssal bukkumi (찹쌀부꾸미, a pan-fried variety of tteok made of glutinous rice flour), and other vegetables.[1] The bukkumi can be either shredded or ball-shaped.

"Wolgwa" (월과) refers to the Oriental pickling melon (Cucumis melo var. conomon)photos in the Korean language.[2][3] Nowadays zucchini has largely replaced wolgwa for making the dish due to the latter vegetable's rarity.photo

Wolgwachae is seasoned with soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil.
